3 x 5 Vintage Turkish Silk Hereke Rug 77795

77795 Vintage Turkish Silk Hereke Rug with Seven Mountain Flowers Design, 03'01 x 04'09.

Step into a realm of cultivated rarity with this hand-knotted vintage Turkish silk Hereke rug, a woven jewel echoing the botanical sanctuaries of the Ottoman imperial court. Crafted with masterful finesse and imbued with cultural reverence, this rug showcases the coveted Seven Mountain Flowers design—each rosette a symbolic bloom drawn from the mythic gardens of Turkey’s Yedigoller region. The abrashed beige silk field, softened by time and shimmer, forms the perfect canvas for an all-over millefleur trellis, where each vine, blossom, and leaf unfolds in a kaleidoscopic rhythm of balance and grace.

The design blooms with a Seven Mountain Flowers pattern of alternating botanical medallions—some in coral, others in verdant pistachio or violet—each delicately linked by floral stems and mirrored arabesques. This latticework evokes the dreamlike harmony of paradise gardens, symbolizing abundance, eternity, and divine renewal. Beneath the luminous surface, one feels the pulse of tradition passed down through generations of Hereke artisans—woven not merely with silk, but with pride, precision, and soul.

Framing this botanical reverie is a classic Herati border, resplendent in wine, blush, and sapphire tones, punctuated by lotus rosettes and scrolling acanthus vines. It is flanked by inner and outer floral guard bands, their meandering rhythm echoing the heartbeat of a sacred manuscript. Each inch of this composition reveals the Hereke philosophy: structure meets sensuality, order cradles exuberance, and heritage is made tactile through extraordinary handwork.

This is not merely a rug—it is a narrative of luxury, a celebration of Turkish silk-weaving at its most inspired. As both an investment and a living artwork, it offers more than opulence; it offers meaning. With its limited provenance, symbolic elegance, and timeless palette, this Seven Mountain Flowers Hereke rug belongs not to the ordinary, but to the curated world of collectors who understand that true beauty is rare, and legacy is best told underfoot.
