- Million Dollar Knots:Especially in silk Hereke carpets, the number of knots per square meter can reach (or even exceed) 1 million. This density ensures that the patterns look flawless, as if they were created by a painter's brush. This is why Hereke carpets hold the title of "The world's finest carpet."
The Language of Motifs: The Dance of Flowers
Hereke designs reflect nature at its most elegant.
- Flower of Seven Mountains:Inspired by Istanbul's seven hills, tulips, carnations, roses, and hyacinths create an endless garden on the carpet.
- Infinity Borders:The intricate borders surrounding the carpet and the magnificent medallions in the center showcase the refinement and splendor of Ottoman art.

Hereke Carpet Collection: The Splendor of the Ottoman Palace and the Pinnacle of Silk Art
Hereke carpets, named after the weaving workshop established in the town of Hereke, Kocaeli, are considered the world's finest and most precious. Often made of silk or a silk-wool blend, these carpets are double-knotted, with a knot density of 360,000 to 1,500,000 per square millimeter. Their craftsmanship and finesse are unrivaled.
Why Are Hereke Carpets Works of Art?
Premium Quality and Material: The majority of Hereke rugs are woven from pure silk. Silk imparts a unique sheen, depth of color, and tactile softness to the rug. These rugs are known for their ability to capture and reflect light; their colors change when viewed from different angles.
Historical and Cultural Heritage: This collection features classical motifs (tulips, bouquets, medallions) inspired by Ottoman palace art (Yıldız Palace, Dolmabahçe Palace). Each motif reflects a deep-rooted elegance and a cultural story.
Detail and Fine Craftsmanship: Thanks to the rugs' fine yarns and high knot density, patterns and motifs are rendered with impeccable detail, resembling a painting. This makes Hereke rugs not only floor coverings but also high-quality artistic and heritage pieces.
Timeless Luxury: Hereke rugs are the most sophisticated way to create an atmosphere of luxury and grandeur. When paired with Classic, Neoclassical, or luxurious Modern (Glam) decorations, they maximize the nobility of a space.
These carpets are offered to our collector-minded customers who want to add not only a decorative element but also a historical heritage and artistic value to their homes.
