Vintage Turkish Silk Hereke Rug with Garden of Paradise Tree of Life Design
Located in Dallas, TX
79160 Vintage Turkish Silk Hereke Rug, 03'04 x 05'03. This hand-knotted vintage Turkish silk Hereke rug unveils a vivid pictorial scene, a magnificent Garden of Paradise woven into its very fibers. The Hereke rug's design is a lush tableau, where nature thrives in every corner. At the heart of the composition lies the revered Tree of Life, its roots deep in the earth, its branches reaching to the heavens, surrounded by an array of life in motion—birds, animals, and blossoms—all painted with the delicate brushstrokes of silk. The rich pinks, reds, and soft golds of the field create an ethereal glow, as though the garden itself has been bathed in the first rays of dawn. Each section of the rug feels like a living scene from an ancient fable, where the earth is fertile and alive with movement. In the foreground, gracefully depicted deer and rabbits wander among the trees, their soft fur and gentle presence inviting peace and tranquility. In the background, birds with their vibrant plumage take flight, filling the scene with a sense of freedom and vitality. The interplay of nature’s creatures—feline and winged, terrestrial and celestial—speaks to the balance of life, captured in the woven artistry of Turkish silk. The elegant design weaves seamlessly into the Tree of Life motif, a symbol of eternal growth and renewal, revered across cultures for its deep spiritual meaning. The trees bloom with abundant blossoms, their pink flowers echoing the natural beauty surrounding them. With each knot, this Hereke rug conjures the timeless beauty of the garden as a reflection of paradise...
