Turkish Hereke Rug - Antique - 100% Silk - Navy blue - 138 x 92 cm
An exceptional antique Hereke rug, entirely hand-knotted in pure silk in the prestigious Turkish town of Hereke, famous for supplying carpets to Ottoman palaces. This refined piece of art, measuring 138 x 92 cm, embodies the elegance and unrivalled craftsmanship of the imperial workshops.
The deep navy blue background, a symbol of nobility and serenity, highlights an intricate floral motif typical of Hereke creations: stylized bouquets, delicate foliage and perfectly balanced arabesques. The finesse of the knotting and the natural brilliance of the silk give the rug a unique radiance, with changing reflections according to the light.
This rug is much more than a decorative element: it's a collector's item, rare, precious and steeped in history. Perfect to enhance a classic or contemporary interior, or to add to a collection of antique rugs.
