RUG INFORMATION:
Beautiful example of a genuine Turkish Istanbul rug with an 8/8 quality...
This rare large Turkish Istanbul silk rug is a perfect example of what the Turkish Istanbul carpets are famous for.
This large genuine Turkish silk rug is a rare find as most new silk carpets in Turkey are actually Chinese made and sold in the shops in Turkey as genuine Turkish pieces. As many collectors of Turkish rugs know, the weaving culture and tradition in Turkey was decimated by the influx of the fake Hereke rugs, but there are still some workshops in Istanbul that produce quality pure silk rugs, mainly in the 8/8 quality like in this piece. The 8/8 quality refers to the knots per centimeter and this equates to about 400kpsi. While the Hereke rugs are the best known pure silk Turkish rugs, there are other types such as the Cinar, Kayseri and Istanbul that are also known for having workshops.
The Istanbul silk rugs tend to be made with a 8/8 quality and are very close in details and designs to the Persian Tabriz rugs as you can see in this piece. The Istanbul silk rugs are also often times copied by Chinese workshops, but the quality and weight of the silk is typically a dead giveaway. Another feature of this genuine Istanbul silk rug is the price, which is very low compared to similar pieces. If you shop around, you will see that genuine Istanbul silk rugs in this rare large size and quality are much more expensive and it is in excellent condition.
