RUG INFORMATION:
Semi-Antique Turkish Cinar-Istanbul rug with Stunning Design!!br>This rare pure silk Turkish Cinar-Istanbul runner is amongst my personal favorite pieces due to its rarity, affordability and design.
If you are familiar with the demise of the Turkish Hereke rug industry in Turkey, you would instantly know how special this piece is as rugs like this one are no longer made in noticable quantities. Most of the Cinar rug weavers that moved to Istanbul decades ago are mo longer in the rug weaving business and as a result finding pristine semi-antique Cinar-Istanbul pieces like this one has become somewhat of an adventure in itself. This piece is about 60 years old and in excellent condition as it was probably displayed as an artpiece by a collector. The Cinar_Istanbul silk rugs are a extension of the Hereke family and share many of the weaving techniques and qualities as the higher grade Hereke rugs.
In addition to its sheer rarity is the shape in the form of a runner, which is not only hard to find, but perfectly sized as a table decor piece or wallart. The length makes it almost perfect to be hang on walls or even framed. Lastly, the word Cinar was woven into the kelim as you can see in one of the last pictures.

Info About REAL vs. FAKE Hereke Rugs
Due to the large number of inquiries I receive about genuine and fake Hereke rugs and the misinformation that are being peddled by online and rug store retailers, I have created my own YouTube channel where I offer factual information for you like the video below that is about Hereke Silk Rugs. You can see the video if you view this rug page on a laptop or desktop.
If you own or are interested in silk Hereke rugs, please watch this video in which I show you real Turkish silk Hereke rugs and the Chinese silk couterparts that are often sold as genuine Turkish rugs. For over 20 years, I have been getting a lot of inquiries about the Hereke rugs and so many have been scammed by the rug dealers in Turkey that I thought I try to show you the difference using actual rugs.
