About the Item

78516 Vintage Turkish Silk Hereke Rug, 01'04 x 02'00. Woven in the legendary ateliers of Hereke, this hand-knotted vintage Turkish silk rug is a masterstroke of imperial artistry—a rare and radiant expression of Ottoman refinement. Its shimmering silk surface glows with the soft patina of age, transforming every knot into a brushstroke of elegance. At its core, a delicate medallion of soft celadon green and rose rests like a jewel upon a gilded saffron field, each surrounding blossom and vine unfurling in lyrical precision. This precious centerpiece is not merely ornamental—it is a sacred axis, a convergence of symmetry, grace, and timeless storytelling. Surrounding the medallion, the field blossoms into an exquisite latticework of crimson lozenges and stylized palmettes, reminiscent of a courtly garden at twilight. The deep burgundy tones contrast with the radiant gold, creating a layered composition that exudes quiet opulence. Each floral motif, rendered with the care of a manuscript illuminator, evokes the celestial gardens of Islamic tradition—symbols of paradise and divine perfection. In every petal lies a whisper of Jannah, and in every stem, a lineage of noble weavers devoted to beauty as a form of prayer. Framing this magnificent work art, a garden of silk, is an enchanting border adorned with rhythmic floral bands, where lotus blossoms and rosettes spiral through a meandering vine scroll in tones of indigo, blush, and cream. These elements are more than decorative—they serve as poetic enclosures, binding the inner design like a gilded margin around a sacred text. The balance between ornamental richness and architectural clarity speaks to the artistic language of Hereke, where structure and spirit are woven into one. Bearing the aristocratic Hereke inscription and exclusive gold signature atelier tag, this one-of-a-kind rug is not only an object of beauty but a certified testament to prestige and provenance. It is a piece destined not for ordinary spaces, but for curated interiors and collectors of discernment. Whether laid beneath a treasured heirloom or suspended as a work of textile art, this exceptional Hereke masterpiece offers more than luxury—it offers legacy. To own it is to inherit the quiet majesty of a golden age, preserved in silk, and destined to endure. Gold tag. Hereke inscription. Abrash. Hand knotted silk on silk. Made in Turkey. Measures: 01'04 x 02'00. Date: 1960's. Mid-20th Century.
