Turkish Hereke
Turkish Hereke
Hereke is a coastal northern Turkish town situated to the south-east of Istanbul. It is a fairly recent weaving area, dating from the period between the mid-19th century and the beginning of the 20th. Hereke carpets are easily distinguished from other Turkish rugs due to the use of asymmetrical knots usually associated with Persian carpets. Hereke rugs are finely woven employing wool, cotton, silk, and even gold is used to highlight certain elements. The style is influenced by foreign floral examples and borrows classic French and Persian designs including Kerman, Tabriz and Aubusson. The pile height is very short and the rugs are woven in small sizes. Hereke rugs are widely viewed as the most prestigious of Turkish rugs, making them a beautiful addition to any collection.
