Hand-knotted Hereke Oriental Rug in Silk, 145 × 91 cm

Roughly 1.1 million knots tied by hand into 1.32 m² — a Hereke rug, 145 × 91 cm. Hereke patterns are court patterns: medallions, prayer niches and dense floral grounds, worked at fine density. The stated density is 800,000-899,999 knots/sqm — a fine knot count, well above what a decorative rug needs. Pile 100% silk & warp 100% silk. Silk carries dye deeper than wool: the colours sit darker in shadow and brighter into the light. At 1.32 m² this is a collector’s size; fine pieces this small are often shown on a wall. Proportion 1.59:1. One of a kind: hand-knotted rugs are not made in editions, so this exact piece exists once.
