Turkish Silk Hereke 1860

Step into a world of unparalleled artistry with this beautiful Vintage Turkish Hereke All-Silk Area Rug, also known as "silk on silk." This exquisite piece is a masterpiece of design and weaving, showcasing the legendary craftsmanship for which Hereke silk rugs are renowned.

This rug features a stunning "Garden Design", a theme that brings a vibrant tapestry of nature to life. The rug's field is a warm and inviting shade of copper-red, providing a rich backdrop for its intricate motifs. Throughout both the field and the border, a symphony of flowers and elegant birds are meticulously rendered in a diverse palette of serene blue, verdant green, sunny yellow, earthy brown, and creamy ivory colors.

A beautiful cream central medallion serves as a focal point, mirroring the design and color of the equally stunning ivory border. The border itself is a work of art, with a continuous pattern of flowers and birds that seamlessly frames the central garden.

A key characteristic of this rug is its extremely high knot density and exceptionally fine weaving techniques, which allow for an incredible level of detail and a lustrous, velvety silk pile. These qualities make the rug truly an artisan creation, and it is well suited for display on a wall, where its intricate beauty can be fully appreciated as a piece of fine art.  Its fine weave, vibrant design, and exceptional quality ensure it will be a cherished focal point for generations to come.
