Hereke carpets, due to their construction, include more curved shapes and patterns inspired by Persian art than most other Turkish rugs. The complex flower motifs on the silk Herekes, which can include carnations, tulips, roses, crocuses, lilacs, hyacinths, or plum blossoms, are often found in muted pastel tones. Our multi-color 4×7 hereke turkish antique area rug is not an exception. Corners are a common placement for quarter medallions.
