Vintage Turkish Silk Hereke Rug with Metallic Threads and Traditional Style
About the Item
79238 Vintage Turkish Silk Hereke Rug, 03'00 x 04'00. Radiating with the opulence of imperial craftsmanship, this exclusive hand knotted vintage Turkish silk Hereke rug is a lyrical celebration of botanical elegance and Ottoman-era refinement. Woven from the finest silk and metallic threads, it possesses a natural luminosity that enlivens each woven thread with a subtle glow, transforming its surface into a living tableau of art and light. The precious composition is defined by an allover botanical design—an intricate choreography of palmettes, rosettes, and spiraling vines—each motif mirrored with poetic symmetry across a soft celadon ground. As your gaze moves across the captivating field, it encounters a hypnotic rhythm where structure and spontaneity entwine, echoing the precision of classical music and the grace of garden fountains.
The dreamlike color palette evokes an exquisite sensibility, masterfully restrained yet seductively rich. Dusty rose, muted indigo, pale apricot, and faded saffron gently emerge from the cool celadon background, softened by the inherent sheen of silk. These spellbinding hues seem to shift with the light, creating a shimmering interplay that evokes the dappled glow of dawn over palace gardens. The enchanting floral motifs, with their painterly detail and elegant curvature, appear almost embroidered, inviting the eye to linger on each arabesque flourish and petal’s edge. In this nuanced spectrum of color and texture, this magnificent woven wonder transcends textile and becomes poetry woven into form.
A majestic midnight border of indigo and eggplant encircles the field like a velvet frame around a painting, densely adorned with blossoms, leafy scrolls, and architectural vine work. This darker perimeter serves not only to ground the composition but to dramatize the soft central hues, creating an exquisite depth of field. Flanked by slender guard bands patterned with geometric rosettes and scrolling tendrils, the border exemplifies classical Hereke design traditions—where ornamental precision is married with the intuitive language of flora. Each flourish and curve speaks to a lineage of master weavers whose artistry was cultivated in the ateliers of Ottoman courts.
More than a decorative object, this exceptional one-of-a-kind Turkish masterpiece is a tactile heirloom of cultural majesty and enduring beauty. It is a quiet yet commanding presence, reflecting a worldview where nature, geometry, and craftsmanship are held in perfect harmony. Whether unfurled across marble floors or displayed as a work of art, it exudes timeless sophistication—an emblem of luxury that transcends era or trend, rooted in the golden legacy of Turkish textile artistry.

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...
