Mearto specialist

Hello Lilliam, I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal. Considering the photographs, overall pattern, knot density and the colors, I concluded that this is: A Turkish Hereke Rug. The piece adapts a classical flower pattern of Turkish Hereke tradition. Your piece can be dated from late 1940's to early 1960's. It's made of Natural Silk and is a real quality work of art. These pieces were made to hang on the walls because they’ve been seen as “paintings” of the oriental carpets. Yours is a very prestigious piece with a rather pale colour palatte. About motifs, Hereke pieces are influenced according to many sources from Persian pieces. Good condition.
