Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and the Early 20th Century Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles Artistically Handwoven in Persia, the Caucasus, Anatolia, and Around the World
This exquisite all-silk Turkish Hereke pictorial rug—woven in the early 1900s—beautifully showcases the celebrated “Garden of Paradise” or “Tree of Life” design, one of the most meaningful and artistically rich motifs in the Hereke tradition. Handwoven with remarkable precision, the rug features an extraordinarily fine weave of approximately 700 knots per square inch, a testament to the exceptional skill and discipline of Hereke’s master weavers.
The directional composition depicts a lush, heavenly garden filled with elegant trees, delicate flowers, and graceful birds, symbolizing abundance, renewal, and spiritual harmony. This Hereke silk masterpiece is ideally suited for wall display, where its pictorial beauty and craftsmanship can be appreciated for generations.
