RUG INFORMATION:
Genuine Semi-Antique Turkish Hereke-K&G rug in excellent condition with 12/12 quality.
This small pure silk Turkish Hereke-K&G is one of only a handful pieces that we have been able to find in the new like condition and our biggest challenge is keeping them around long enough to actually be able to enjoy them...
The K&G workshop was one of the premier weaving house along with Derin and Ozipek in Hereke and as so many others fell victim to the influx of cheap Chinese silk rugs that have all but wiped out the silk carpet makers in Turkey. Given that the Hereke-K&G date back to ~1960-1970, the condition is excellent and is like new. What also sets the K&G workshop apart from most other Turkish Hereke weavers is that they specialized in the 12/12 quality, which means that it has an amazing 12 knots per centimeter or about 900+ kpsi. Whereas others like the Ozipek for example made rugs of the same design in various qualities and sizes, the K&G practically stayed focused on that one 12/12 quality only as far as we can tell.
Perfectly suited for hanging on a wall or displaying as a decor rug, this fine Hereke-K&G is a great reminder of what the past Turkish weaving culture is all about. Simply a stunning masterpiece and the kind of Hereke rug that collectors of rare Turkish Hereke rugs look for. As with all genuine Hereke-K&G rugs, you will see the signature in the bottom.
