Taking pride of place among carpets are Hereke silk rugs. These rare and beautifully crafted pieces feature floral motifs and bright, lustrous colours. The Turkish art form involved in creating Hereke rugs has been practiced for well over 1,600 years. All the rugs were once destined for the palaces of the Ottoman Empire. Every warp, weft and tuft of these extraordinary handmade double-knotted carpets is pure silk.
Hereke carpets are Turkish handmade carpets produced and sold in Hereke, a coastal town in Turkey. For a long time, they used to be produced only in Hereke, 60 km from Istanbul. The materials used are silk, a combination of wool and cotton, and sometimes gold or silver threads.
