The tradition was promoted by the art-loving Sultan Abd-ul-Medjid (reigned 1839 - 1861). In 1844, he had the court knotting workshops moved from Cairo back to Hereke. Hand-knotted \u003cb\u003eHereke silk rugs\u003c\/b\u003e are among the finest rugs in the world and are knotted with a density of up to 6 million knots per square meter. Thanks to the knotting technique, the pattern is just as clearly visible on the back as on the front. Antique Turkish rugs fetch top prices in renowned art auction houses.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nTypical motifs of the \u003cb\u003eHereke rugs\u003c\/b\u003e include flowers, twigs and leaves, as well as birds, the tree of life and the so-called \u003cb\u003eMehrab or Mihrab pattern\u003c\/b\u003e, a prayer niche depicted together with oil lamps. Besides traditional motifs and typical Ottoman or Turkish patterns, Hereke silk rugs are today knotted with more modern patterns to suit contemporary tastes. The characteristic colors of \u003cb\u003eHereke silk rugs\u003c\/b\u003e are deep dark blue, bright red, vivid green, bright yellow and various natural tones in all nuances.  This old Hereke is \u003cb\u003e more than 40 years old\u003c\/b\u003e and a true collector's item. The pattern of this noble Hereke is accentuated through the use of \u003cb\u003e gold threads\u003c\/b\u003e. The gold threads create a shimmering, glossy contrast and let the colors shine in warm nuances, depending on lighting. The fine gold threads are not only precious but also extremely difficult to work with and underline the craftsmanship of the knotters. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatterns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The luxuriant \u003cb\u003eflower motifs\u003c\/b\u003e of this Hereke are elegant and varied. The graceful vegetative symbols representing flowers, leaves and branches are artfully intertwined.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The \u003cb\u003eembellished edging (border)\u003c\/b\u003e forms a excellent contrast to the center and creates a transition at the edge of the rug.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The \u003cb\u003erecurring pattern\u003c\/b\u003e (so-called repeating pattern) flatters the design of the room and does not take attention away from the furniture, the decoration and architectural elements. It creates a pleasant atmosphere without dominating the style of the room. In this Hereke the \u003cb\u003erepeating elements\u003c\/b\u003e give way to the \u003cb\u003esymmetrical medallion\u003c\/b\u003e in the center of the panel.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e  The background of this Hereke is olive green.  The border features golden beige, rusty red and olive green. The light brown center combines the colors terracotta and beige.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis Hereke has a story. It was hand knotted about \u003cb\u003e 1920\u003c\/b\u003e. It has been thoroughly cleaned and only partially restored condition but is in good condition. We have not completely restored this Hereke because we think it is as it is a special charm. If you would like, we will of course restore the rug further for you. We can restore almost any rug to an almost perfect condition. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe \u003cb\u003e silk\u003c\/b\u003e of the pile of this Hereke lets the colors of the pattern shine in different nuances depending on lighting. It makes this Hereke a real jewel and creates a cozy, yet very elegant and high-quality atmosphere in the room. Silk is extracted from the cocoons of the silk moth by hand. Since individual silk threads are extremely long, they allow for the production of very thin yarns that are nevertheless tear-resistant at low tension. Smaller rug knots can be knotted with the thin yarn, which makes it possible to create finer patterns. Therefore, the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted made of pure silk.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nFurthermore, the pattern of this exquisite Hereke has been accented by the use of \u003cb\u003e gold threads\u003c\/b\u003e. The gold threads create a shimmering, shiny contrast. The fine gold threads are not only precious, but also extremely difficult to work with and demonstrate the skill of the weavers.  In this Hereke even the background is made of \u003cb\u003epure silk\u003c\/b\u003e. Due to the thin but durable material of the weft and warp threads, a particularly fine knotting and, therefore, a particularly fine pattern is feasible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254996021341,"sku":"18683","price":3900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/18683_gesamt_e45871b9-1736-4b53-b0da-3ca0c63451dd.jpg?v=1586909789","url":"https:\/\/www.zomorrodi-teppiche.de\/en-de\/products\/alter-hereke-aus-reiner-seide-mit-goldfaden-teppich-154-x-98-18683","provider":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
