Lot 366 A PURE NATURAL SILK HEREKE DESIGN MASTERPIECE RUG
Up for auction is an absolute showpiece of the textile luxury class: A fine Hereke design silk rug in masterly execution. This exquisite work of art is crafted entirely from fine, lustrous pure natural silk on a silk warp. The design follows the world-famous Ottoman Hereke court manufactory tradition and captivates with a highly elegant, floral pattern concept. On the ivory-colored inner field, a delicate medallion unfolds, surrounded by dense, masterfully drawn floral vines and sophisticated vase motifs. The coloration is characterized by an exceptional, fresh elegance: Pastel rosé, light turquoise blue, and fine gold nuances play harmoniously with the silky shimmering light effects (changement) of the pile. Due to the extremely fine knotting (typically several hundred thousand to over one million knots per square meter for this type), the floral contours feature unprecedented sharpness and depth of detail. The rug is in good condition with a magnificent, silky pile and fully preserved fringes. A prestigious and valuable highlight for sophisticated living requirements as well as for international lovers of the finest silk textiles. • Type: Hand-knotted luxury silk rug • Design / Provenance: Ch.
