Located in Barrington, IL
Step into a world of unparalleled artistry with this beautiful Vintage Turkish Hereke All-Silk Area Rug, also known as "silk on silk." This exquisite piece is a masterpiece of design and weaving, showcasing the legendary craftsmanship for which Hereke silk rugs are renowned. This rug features a stunning "Garden Design", a theme that brings a vibrant tapestry of nature to life. The rug's field is a warm and inviting shade of copper-red, providing a rich backdrop for its intricate motifs. Throughout both the field and the border, a symphony of flowers and elegant birds are meticulously rendered in a diverse palette of serene blue, verdant green, sunny yellow, earthy brown, and creamy ivory colors. A beautiful cream central medallion serves as a focal point, mirroring the design and color of the equally stunning ivory border. The border itself is a work of art, with a continuous pattern of flowers and birds that seamlessly frames the central garden. A key characteristic of this rug is its extremely high knot density and exceptionally fine weaving techniques, which allow for an incredible level of detail and a lustrous, velvety silk pile. These qualities make the rug truly an artisan creation, and it is well suited for display on a wall, where its intricate beauty can be fully appreciated as a piece of fine art. Its fine weave, vibrant design, and exceptional quality ensure it will be a cherished focal point for generations to come.

Vintage Turkish Silk Rugs for Sale on 1stDibs: Shop Hereke Silk Rugs, Handmade Turkish Silk Kilims and Other Rugs

Antique and vintage Turkish rugs, with their ruby reds and misted blues, their entwined botanical designs and rhythmic geometries, are as beloved today as they were in the 13th century, when the Turks of the Seljuk Empire began weaving these vibrant carpets in Anatolia. The styles and different types of Turkish rugs are defined both by weaving method and region, city or village of origin. Silk Turkish rugs are a popular iteration of these cherished textiles.

A Turkish rug is simply one made in Turkey or the former Ottoman empire, employing the region’s unique traditional methods and weaves. Varieties range from flat-woven kilims to lush knotted rugs, known as hali, many of which are created with Ghiordes, or Turkish, knots. Whereas in other knots, the weft (crosswise) yarn is wrapped around one warp (lengthwise) yarn, in Ghiordes knots, it is wrapped around two, imparting lushness and durability. In addition to knotting techniques, Turkish rugs differ in their motifs — naturalistic or stylized, geometric or figurative — which often reflect the region where they were made.

The main types of Turkish rugs, as Milan-based carpet dealer Alfredo Levi explains it, are kilim, typified by a plain slit-tapestry weave, which leaves a gap, or slit, between sections woven with different yarns in different colors; sumak, made with weft wrapping, for a sturdier flat-woven carpet; and cicim, which he describes as “a type of sumak with extra brocade techniques typical of the tribes and villages of central Anatolia.

Within each type, there are various regional styles. Among these are Bergama carpets, characterized by bright reds and strong medallions; thick-piled Tulu rugs; and Konya rugs, which Marco Polo is said to have called “the most beautiful in the world.”

Also treasured are Oushak (or Ushak) rugs, with their complex, intricate designs and warm earth tones of saffron, cinnamon, blue, ivory and gold; and Hereke carpets, originally created exclusively for Ottoman sultans, using the finest silk. Still made in the coastal Turkish town of Hereke, these woven jewels — with their exquisite, highly intricate floral patterns crafted from wool, cotton and silk and frequently enhanced with gold and silver threads — are much sought-after by collectors and decorators the world over.

For Jason Nazmiyal, of New York carpet dealer Nazmiyal Antique Rugs, “a good Turkish rug is when the colors are harmonious.” This is true of both modern and antique Turkish rugs, but the hues have changed over the centuries, thanks to both technology and changes in culture and taste.

The best carpets are woven or knotted using the classic Ghiordes knot and made from wool, cottoncamel or other animal hair or — in the most luxurious examples — silk.
