An exquisite vintage hand-knotted Turkish Hereke rug from the 1970s — a luxurious collector’s piece crafted entirely from 100% pure silk, pile and foundation alike, representing the absolute pinnacle of Turkish rug artistry. Hereke is the most prestigious name in Turkish carpet production, historically the supplier of rugs to the Ottoman Imperial Palace, and Hereke silk rugs are among the most technically demanding and collectible textiles produced anywhere in the world.

With a knot density of 13 × 13 knots per cm² (169 knots/cm²) — equivalent to approximately 1,090 knots per square inch — this piece represents an extraordinary level of technical achievement. At this density, the silk pile can render motifs of almost photographic precision, and the characteristic shimmer of the silk shifts with the light, making the rug appear to change color and depth as the viewing angle changes.

The design follows the classic Hereke vocabulary: traditional motifs rendered with the finest possible detail, the rich red ground glowing with the characteristic warmth of high-grade silk dyed with precision. The rug is signed by the artisan — a mark of pride and authenticity that adds both provenance and collectible value.

Previously used exclusively as a wall hanging, the rug has been preserved in exceptional condition — professionally cleaned and ready for immediate display. At 33 × 45 cm (13” × 17”), this is a cabinet-size collector’s piece — ideal as a wall hanging, framed textile, table centerpiece, or display object.
