      History and Significance of Hereke Rugs

      The history of Hereke rugs dates back to 1843 when Sultan Abdülmecid established the Hereke Imperial Factory to produce textiles and carpets for the palace. Over time, the factory became a center for creating the most prestigious rugs, adorning palaces such as Dolmabahçe, Yıldız, and Beylerbeyi. Today, Hereke rugs remain a symbol of elegance and grandeur.

      Characteristics of Hereke Rugs

      Handcrafted Excellence

      Hereke rugs are 100% handmade, with some pieces taking months or even years to complete, depending on their size and complexity.

      Premium Materials

      These rugs are woven using the finest silk, wool, and cotton threads. Silk fibers add brilliance and softness, while wool ensures durability and longevity.

      Exquisite Patterns

      Inspired by nature, history, and culture, Hereke rug designs include floral motifs, animal figures, and geometric patterns. Common motifs include tulips, roses, leaves, carnations, hyacinths, and floral bouquets, showcasing remarkable artistic diversity.

      Unique Knotting Technique

      Hereke rugs use the Turkish double knot (Gördes knot) technique, making them far more durable than Persian rugs. Some have an average of 100 knots per square centimeter, while finer variations exceed 400 knots, resulting in extraordinary detail and resilience.

      What Are the Patterns of Hereke Rugs?

      The patterns of Hereke rugs are detailed and complex, with motifs that frequently appear in both the central field and borders. These designs are typically arranged symmetrically and carry deep symbolic meanings, reflecting the emotions, wishes, and inspirations of the weaver. The most common patterns include:

      • Floral and botanical motifs
      • Animal figures
