RUG INFORMATION:
Amazing Hereke rug with 13/13 quality ~1000+kpsi and a pictorial design 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 days and this one dates to around the mid 70'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.
With an amazing 1000+ kpsi, it is simple a stunning artpiece and even though it is about 50 years old, it is in excellent condition as it was displayed as an artpiece by the original owner. As is customary with Hereke rugs, you will find a signature in the top corner.
