This Finest Silk Hereke Carpet is very unique with it’s very fine details and weaving patterns. Hereke carpets are woven in a coastal town in Turkey, and are made predominately of silk, wool and cotton- even sometimes gold or silver threads. In 1841, Sultan Abdulmecid l gathered all the best artisans and weavers in Hereke and began manufacturing his own high quality collection of carpets all with unique patterns and colors. Ottoman Sultans used to give carpets like this Hereke as gifts to visiting royalty. Today, Hereke carpets are typically large in size with very distinctive and clear patterns due to the fineness of the wool and silk. This traditional fine carpet is so unique with it’s intricate designs and color palette. The extremely fine threads are so closely knotted together that it would take a skilled weaver years to complete.
