Hereke is a small town on the Sea of Marmara in Turkey and home to one of the most prestigious carpet weaving traditions in the world. The Imperial Hereke workshops were established in the 19th century to produce carpets for the Ottoman court, and the tradition that developed there is characterised by extraordinary fineness, pure silk on silk construction, and classical floral compositions executed at knot densities that are among the highest in the world.
This piece is knotted at 1200 knots per square inch in 100 percent silk on a silk base. The gold ground with multicolour border at 3 ft 4 in x 5 ft 3 in is luminous and warm. At 1200 knots per square inch the floral detail achieves a precision that is genuinely extraordinary. Gold Hereke silks are among the most refined pieces in the collector carpet world.
