Hereke is a coastal town near Istanbul and, since the middle of the 19th century, an important centre of Turkish weaving. Hereke rugs were originally made in the imperial manufactory for the court of the Ottoman Empire and were given as gifts to state guests and palaces. To this day they are regarded as sought-after collector's pieces. They are knotted with the double Turkish knot, from fine silk or from a combination of wool and cotton. The Turkish knot wraps around two warp threads and holds the pile firmly, which produces clear contours even in very fine drawing. The patterns combine Turkish and Persian traditions: richly detailed blossoms, birds, prayer niches and the Tree of Life, which has stood for growth and connection in the region for centuries, carried by a harmonious palette of ivory, dark blue, red, yellow and green.

This rug measures 35 × 25 cm. It comes in grey and features a pictorial motif; the border is grey too. It is hand-knotted, with a pile of 100% silk and a foundation of 100% silk. Rugs of this quality typically have 750,000 to 1,000,000 knots per square metre. It is between 50 and 100 years old.

A grey rug is a calm base for almost any interior; wood, brass or a coloured cushion give it warmth.
