| Description | Hereke rugs have earned worldwide fame for their exceptionally high knot density, fine silk workmanship, and elegant design compositions. The large central medallion in this rug is a quintessential element of traditional, Persian-influenced Ottoman designs. The medallion, symbolizing the center of the universe, is surrounded by a network of finely scrolling branches, floral bouquets, and buds that radiate outwards in a balanced and symmetrical fashion. This arrangement is both soothing to the eye and lends a monumental harmony to the rug. The motifs are rich in meaning: stylized "hatayi" flowers celebrate nature, while "rumi-palmette" embellishments represent the continuity of life. Graceful vines and scrolling branches emphasize the cyclical patterns of the natural world, creating a composition that is not just beautiful, but deeply meaningful. |
