About the Item

This elegant silk Hereke rug was meticulously woven in the mid-20th century at the renowned weaving workshops of Hereke, Turkey. Made entirely of pure silk, it stands out not only for its refined weaving technique but also for the intricate artistry of its design. The mihrab-style composition reflects the influence of classical Ottoman art, while the surrounding dense floral motifs symbolize a deep admiration for nature. The soft cream background is beautifully balanced by floral details in shades of red, blue, and green, creating a harmonious visual effect. The finely inscribed calligraphy along the borders adds a layer of spiritual and aesthetic depth to the piece. Thanks to its fine weave, high knot density, and the natural sheen of silk threads, this Hereke rug is more than just a floor covering—it is a true work of art that may also be displayed as a wall hanging. With its exceptional craftsmanship and historical significance, this rare piece holds great value as a collectible.
