for a perpetual enjoyment. It is very finely and expertly woven with a reverse
side that approaches perfection. The weaver probably spent eleven months or more producing it.
Every thread of the warp, every thread of the weft, and every tuft of the pile
of this hand woven beauty is 100% pure silk. Each is double-knotted by hand. It is a Hereke
Pure silk rug woven in Turkey in the famous Turkish tradition of durability and
excellence which dates back to 400 AD.
The
town of Hereke itself was established a mere 200 years ago by the Sultans as a
production center for the ultimate
sensual luxury , the all silk carpet.
Hereke is recognized for producing the finest hand
knotted carpets in the world. These special carpets represent the pinnacle of
the Turkish carpet weaving tradition.
Sultan Abdulmecid, Ottoman Emperor, established the
Hereke Imperial Factory in 1843 to produce carpets, fabric, upholstery and
curtains exclusively for the Ottoman Court. Sultan Abdulmecid asserted that the
greatest palaces in the world should also display the finest carpets in the
world.
During the late 19th
century and early 20th century, Hereke weavers produced their unique craft
exclusively for the aristocracy of the Ottoman Empire, visiting dignitaries and
heads of state. Fine Hereke hand knotted carpets have been presented as gifts to the royal families of Japan, Russia,
Germany and England and the President of the United
States.
