Turkey Hereke Wool Rug - 1.81 x 1.29 ConnoisseurRug weaving started in Turkey since 13th century with the arrival of the Seljuks , who were nomadic tribes from central Asia. In Ottoman Turkey, weaving patterns and techniques changed in the early sixteenth century after conquests in Persia and Egypt. Anatolia had been known for carpets with stylized animal and geometric designs, but with these new cultural contacts, carpets designed around a central medallion and with flowing saz style vegetation

The soft background and repetition of motifs in the guard borders create a serene and elegant look

creates a spectacular visual statement

Since the Safavid period

This pure silk carpet has a small central medallion that is in the shape of a flower

One of the most famous designs of that time — the ziegler — has clear echoes in today’s chobi

This carpet contains a central field filled with flowers

Balouchi rugs are unlike any other style of rug

Living a peaceful and harmonious life with nature

The carpet is silk and is from the city of Qum

and had the most beautiful palaces

The carpet would make a magnificent hallway runner

All is balanced and in harmony
