Turkish Antique Hereke Ta Wool & Silk Rug - 4'0''X6'0''

A soft olive green field is covered with fine blossoms and scrolling vines in brown, blue and red, framed by a wide ivory border of flowers and leaves. The green field is unusual for a Hereke design and gives it a fresh, garden-like feel. It is a 4x6 hand knotted Hereke design rug in wool and silk.

Hereke carpets are known for their curving, Persian-influenced floral drawing, which sets them apart from the bolder geometric patterns of most Turkish village rugs. Its soft green field and ivory border make it the most unusual color combination of the three Hereke pieces. It is hand knotted in Turkey by skilled artisans from the finest quality wool and silk, using the symmetric Ghiordes knot, also called the Turkish double knot. This knot makes the rug highly durable and keeps the pattern crisp and well defined. The silk highlights the flowers with a soft sheen that shifts as the light changes.

At 4x6, it is ideal for an entry, a bedroom, a study or beside a bed, or it can be displayed on a wall. Its rich, refined palette suits traditional and transitional rooms and pairs well with dark wood, brass and classic furniture. It is a perfect centerpiece to bring a touch of imperial elegance to your home.
