7x10 Ft Fine Pure Silk Turkish Hereke Rug, Investment Quality Work of Floor Art
About the Item
An exquisitely elegant silk Hereke rug with what is known as a ‘garden design’, featuring an overall vignette pattern. Each vignette depicts impeccably drawn delicate potted flowers in blossom such as roses, carnations and tulips. Impressive attention to even the most minuscule detail manifesting itself in the drawing and arrangement of tulips, roses and carnations evokes a very carefully cultivated, immaculate formal garden made to create an image of grandeur, magnificence and power.
The field and the border of the rug are sumptuously rich and ornate, yet they are surprisingly refreshing and delightfully easy to behold. The juxtaposition of soft, delicate, extraordinarily beautiful colors and their gradations are of painterly quality. The shimmering hues of blush pink, rose pink, red, burgundy, mint green, aquamarine, cerulean blue and dark azure help create a subtle, delicate palette emphasizing and leading the eyes to the overall harmony of the design. This silk Hereke is a work of art that deploys form and color in most sophisticated fashion to create decisively delicate and easily perceptible beauty.
This extremely finely woven silk rug is from the Hereke town in Northwest Turkey, close to Istanbul, famous for its highly sought-after, fine, palatial silk rugs. The rug is in excellent original condition with full silk pile on silk foundation. It has approximately 500 knots per square inch. It takes two weavers over a year to weave a rug of this size and knot count. Hereke silk rugs are considered to be some of the world's finest because of their top quality Bursa silk, masterfully intricate design and highly skilled craftsmanship.

We are Label Step Fair Trade Partners. Hereke silk carpets have always been among the exquisite works of art in carpet production. Its origins go back to the Ottoman Sultan Abdülmecid I, who founded the Hereke Imperial Manufactory in 1841 to produce all the textiles for his Dolmabahçe Palace on the Bosphorus. Due to the friendship between the German Empire and the Ottoman Empire, there were plenty of contacts between the oriental art of weaving and European customers. As is well known, a particularly great admirer of Hereke carpets was Kaiser Wilhelm II, who brought an impressive collection of exquisite carpets from Hereke with him in 1894. In the 20th century Hereke has developed into the most important production site for exquisite silk carpets. Floral carpets and prayer rugs in sizes 90 x 60 cm, 120 x 80 cm, 150 x 100 cm and 200 x 130 cm are common. Larger carpets are also available, but due to their high price these are much rarer. Simple qualities in wool on cotton warp start with a knot density of approx. 300,000 knots per m², particularly fine pieces reach fineness of over 4,000,000 knots per m². A floral drawing or floral repeat is typical. Well-known weaving masters or manufacturers are Ozipek, Derin, Han Hali.
