This exquisite handmade carpet originates from the legendary Hereke workshops in Turkey, renowned for producing some of the finest quality handwoven rugs. It features a rich indigo blue field adorned with an intricate arabesque motif, composed of split-leaf palmettes, stylized foliage, and spiraling stems intertwined with delicate ornamental details. Framing the design is a beautifully muted green border showcasing a graceful samovar motif, interspersed with alternating palmettes and elegant tan serrated leaves curling around indigo flower heads. Multiple guard borders further enhance the composition, separating the field from the main border with refined precision.
This Hereke carpet remains in good condition, with only a few tiny worn spots and one small restoration. All sides and ends are original, preserving its authenticity and charm. The wool, dyed using premium natural materials, is exceptionally soft and silky. With a high knot count and a very low-cut pile. Estimated time to hand make this carpet is about 2000 hours!
