Hand-knotted Hereke Oriental Rug in Silk, White and Beige, 124 × 79 cm — 800,000 knots/m² · 2F60

Hand-knotted: a Hereke rug measuring 124 × 79 cm. The Hereke idiom is a very high knot count carrying drawing borrowed from Persian and Ottoman court design. Around 833,000 knots went into this piece (800,000-899,999 knots/sqm) — a density that lets the drawing carry detail rather than outline. Pile 100% silk, warp 100% silk. A silk pile shifts tone as you move past it — the same field reads light from one side of the room and dark from the other. A small format at 124 × 79 cm, usually hung or laid where it will be seen close up. Proportion 1.57:1. Every rug here is a single piece — there is no second one in this size and colour.
