Object Description
A rare collection of four silk Hereke rugs, dating from circa 1960-1970. These masterpieces are all in exceptional and perfect condition, woven with exquisite soft silk and a very fine weave. Each rug has been signed in the top left hand corner, in varying silk and with silver thread behind. The design on these rugs are very rare and unusual, following our extensive research we have not discovered any images of other silk Hereke rugs with similar designs or information to verify their history exactly.
It is not inconceivable that these four silk Hereke rugs were commissioned as a gift for important dignitaries or royalty. Possibly even woven for a Sultans palace, such is their rare designs, each rug is signed with silk on silver thread too. Clearly woven by the best Turkish weavers and using the best materials.
