Hereke Turkish Rug 50 × 69 cm in Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Turkey, format 50 × 69 cm — a Hereke made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 0.35 m² (1.6' × 2.3').

Construction

Pile material is given as 100% silk, warp as 100% silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 1,000,000+ knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

The stated colourway is multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
