2- HISTORY OF THE CARPET

The Hereke carpet is a traditional hand-woven carpet produced in the Hereke district of Turkey, which gained significant importance during the Ottoman Empire. In the 19th century, especially during the reign of Sultan Abdülmecid, Hereke carpets achieved great fame.

Today, Hereke carpets can be seen in the Beylerbeyi, Çırağan, and Dolmabahçe palaces. While there are various pattern types, the most well-known pattern is the Yedidağ flower pattern.

3- CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Carpet cleaning varies depending on the material of the carpet and the type of dirt. For cleaning this carpet, carpet shampoo or detergent containing chemical substances should not be used. If any liquid spills on this carpet, the affected area should first be thoroughly blotted with a paper towel; then, the area should be wiped with a cloth, lathering white bar soap. It should also be noted that immediate action is very important when something spills on the carpet. If the spilled liquid remains on the carpet for a long time without being wiped, the stain penetrates the warp and becomes much harder to remove. Finally, we recommend that you entrust the washing of this carpet to a professional carpet cleaner whom you trust and who specializes in hand-woven carpets.
