This vintage pure silk Turkish Hereke rug is a masterpiece of delicate weaving, celebrated for its intricate detail, lustrous texture, and luxurious craftsmanship. At its heart, a central medallion depicts a delicate pastoral scene with mountains, cypress trees, animals, and a domed pavilion, framed by an ornate rosette surround. The dark navy field is densely decorated with scrolling floral vines, stylised palmettes, and elegant arabesques in soft gold, ivory, and coral tones, creating a striking contrast against the deep background. The finely drawn border, featuring cartouches and floral sprays, encases the design with graceful symmetry. Made from the highest quality pure silk, the rug shimmers with a luminous sheen, showcasing the Hereke tradition's renowned artistry and precision. This piece is both a decorative treasure and a testament to Turkey's long-standing legacy of silk weaving excellence.

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
Thanks for the seamless buying. Great rug.
