RUG INFORMATION:
Amazing Hereke rug with 13/13 quality ~1000+kpsi and a pictorial hunting design in a rare size that is perfect for hanging!!
This is a genuine Hereke rug with a 13/13 quality, which translates into about 1000+ kpsi. Woven with the old weaving technique that is all but gone, it is simply remarkable that weavers could make such rugs back in the 60's. Unfortunately, this type of rug weaving has become so expensive that most buyers choose the cheaper Chinese imitations and therefore the weavers in Turkey have all but abandoned this rare artform. Nowadays, the costs would be so prohibitive that it is extremely rare to find new Turkish Hereke rugs of this caliber.
Most Turkish silk rugs feature the more traditional designs and rectangular shapes and this is one of only a few pieces that we have ever offered with this rare wide shape that is very sought after with collectors. With an amazing 1000+ kpsi, it is simple a stunning artpiece and even though it is over 50 years old, it is in excellent condition as it was displayed as an artpiece by the original owner. At the top center is the unique signature of the Hereke weaver, which is also a novelty as most Hereke rugs have the name Hereke woven in one top corner instead.
