Signed Silk Hereke Rug

Period: Mid 20th century
Origin: Hereke, Turkey
Dimensions: 105 x 166 cm

This rare mid 20th century Turkish Hereke silk rug is a magnificent example of fine weaving, representing the world renowned craftsmanship of the Hereke workshops. This exquisite piece features a sophisticated medallion composition set against a luminous ivory field, framed by a rich terracotta toned border. The central motif is a grand, multi lobed medallion adorned with intricate floral rosettes and geometric patterns, symbolizing unity and the central role of nature in classical Ottoman inspired design.

Technically, the rug is an achievement of extreme precision, hand knotted with 100% pure silk on a silk foundation. This high grade material gives the piece a jewel like sheen and an incredibly soft texture that shifts in radiance depending on the angle of light. The exceptional knot density, for which Hereke is internationally famous, allows for the “painterly” rendering of the delicate vine scrolls and the sharp, clean lines of the geometric motifs within the borders.

Surrounding the central field are elegantly structured guard borders featuring stylized floral motifs and interlocking patterns that provide a balanced and timeless frame to the vibrant interior. This rug is more than a decorative object; it is a woven work of art, highly prized by collectors for its technical perfection and prestigious heritage. Its classic aesthetic and luxurious material make it an ideal centerpiece for a sophisticated interior or a distinguished wall hanging.
