About the Item
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—an Eden where life thrives in its most harmonious and vibrant form. The symbiotic relationship between the flora and fauna within this motif paints a picture of idealized nature, of peace, of sacred unity between all living beings.
The border, rich in color and detail, frames the paradise with its own garden of flora. A delicate meander of smaller trees and blooms in soft yellows, reds, and blues echoes the life within this woven wonder, creating a boundary that protects this enchanted world. The intricate botanical motifs of the border serve as a reminder of the earthly beauty that surrounds us, while the silk’s gentle sheen makes each color seem to come to life with the light, capturing a glimpse of nature’s most sacred and captivating form. This vintage Turkish Hereke rug, with its vibrant Garden of Paradise, evokes not only the splendor of nature but also the eternal cycle of life, growth, and rebirth.
