About the Item
78665 Antique Turkish Silk Hereke Prayer Rug, 03'05 x 05'03. An extraordinary masterpiece of cultural distinction and refined artistry, this hand-knotted antique Turkish silk Hereke rug is an exclusive heirloom of Ottoman luxury, woven not merely as décor but as a living legacy. Conceived in the imperial looms once reserved for sultans and dignitaries, it embodies the rare fusion of spiritual symbolism and regal sophistication that defines the most coveted traditions of signature Turkish textile art. The silk’s natural luster casts an ethereal glow across the surface, lending the entire composition a sense of celestial stillness—a curated still point in a turning world.
At the heart of this magnificent work of art lies a sublime Tree of Life motif—a one-of-a-kind visual poem of transcendence, its upward-reaching branches gracefully entwined with hand-rendered floral blooms. Each precious silk knot tells a story of renewal, growth, and the soul’s ascension, weaving a visual narrative that celebrates the sacred bond between earth and sky. These blossoms—delicate and precise—radiate the timeless energy of nature reimagined through the lens of imperial court design. The muted crimson and antique gold tones shimmer with a quiet confidence, their elegance both regal and intimately contemplative.
Framing this evocative central tableau is a rare and elaborate cartouche border, where urns spill forth a profusion of symbolic florals, each scroll and arabesque whispering the sacred rhythm of life. The pastel palette—soft celadons, petal pinks, and luminous ivory—offers a sophisticated counterpoint to the deeper interior tones, creating a nuanced interplay of depth and radiance. The border is not merely a frame—it is a meditative garden, a liminal space between ornament and meaning, echoing the rhythms of Ottoman palatial design and spiritual architecture.
To acquire this exceptional Hereke rug is to engage in more than collection—it is to participate in heritage conservation, cultural stewardship, and visual storytelling of the highest order. Whether adorning the marble corridors of a Parisian residence, the private library of a Manhattan townhouse, or the intimate gallery of a refined retreat, this rare treasure elevates its surroundings with symbolic resonance and enduring prestige. In a world increasingly defined by speed and sameness, this one-of-a-kind Hereke silk rug stands as a statement of values: art over artifice, intention over trend, and legacy over transience.
Rendered in variegated shades of tan, rose, ecru, olive, latte, mauve, champagne, pink and cappuccino with other neutral colors.
