Description

77218 Vintage Turkish Hereke Silk Prayer Rug, 04’00 x 06’00. 

Effortless beauty meets timeless appeal in this vintage Turkish silk Hereke prayer rug. The stylish levels of complexity and refined color palette woven into this piece work together evoking worldly sophistication. The composition features an intricate Koum Kapi design and directional layout. A midnight navy blue ogaival mihrab niche, also referred to as Sultan's head, is richly patterned with Shah Abbas palmettes, stylized florals, and undulating cloudbands with a Kufic inscription cartouche. The ogival niche is outlined with a beige band composed of stylized calligraphic script. Blooming vases with tree of life motifs and birds fill the corner spandrels. It is framed with an elaborate cartouche border with passages from the Quran. Double floral meander guard borders enclose the main border creating a lush enclosure and a refreshing finish to this formal composition. Effortlessly inviting and imbued with earth-tone elegance, this silk Hereke prayer rug would grant an air of calm formality to nearly any space.
