About the Item

An exceptionally fine and collectible piece, this Vintage Turkish Hereke Silk Rug is a miniature textile masterpiece. Hand-knotted entirely in silk, these small Hereke pieces are famous for their incredibly high knot density and luminous quality, often serving as highly prized wall hangings or decorative accents rather than floor coverings. Dating to the 1980s, this rug measures a precious 50 cm x 38 cm (approximately 1.6 ft x 1.2 ft). The small scale allows the masterful weavers to achieve an astonishing level of detail in the design, often featuring classical Ottoman or Safavid-inspired motifs, such as intricate floral patterns, vases, and arabesques. The silk material ensures a magnificent, shifting luster that changes as light plays across the surface. While the exact colors may vary, Hereke rugs typically employ a sophisticated palette of ivory, gold, pale blues, and soft pinks. This small rug is in good vintage condition, making it a perfect decorative item for a high-end collector. It is ideal for display on a wall, cabinet, or under a valuable artifact, adding an undeniable touch of luxury and traditional artistry to any room.
