RUG INFORMATION:
Semi-Antique Kayseri Hereke rug in excellent condition
This Kayseri Hereke rug is one of several rare genuine Hereke rugs that we are proud to offer and as with all of our Turkish Hereke rugs, the silk and/or the fringes have not been replaced or restored. Due to their age and rarity, most older Hereke rugs have been repaired or have had their fringes replaces and I am very particular about not offering these types.
The design in this Kayseri Hereke rug features a classic Mehrab design, which is standard for the genuine Kayseri pieces but in an unusually large size. The condition of this semi-antique Kayseri Hereke is excellent and based on our estimate it is about 50 years old. It appears to be used as a decor rug only and there are no damaged or worn out areas that required any repairs. Simply a gorgeous piece and the kind of Persian rug that collectors look for. With a luxurious 9/9 quality, this Hereke-Kayseri features 500+ kpsi and is perfectly suited as a decor rug or for hanging. Kayseri Hereke rugs like this one are no longer made and for those who know and appreciate the Turkish rugs, you will appreciate a piece like this.

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.
