Hereke Silk Rug – Signed By özipek (turkey) – 65 Cm X 42 Cm – No. 747

An exceptional artistic prayer rug from the renowned Hereke workshop, entirely hand-woven in silk on silk. This masterpiece bears the prestigious signature of the Özipek workshop, visible in the upper cartouche, guaranteeing its origin and exceptional craftsmanship.

The central field features a magnificent Mihrab (prayer niche) design on a deep black background, adorned with a stylized hanging mosque lamp and delicate calligraphy. The motif is surrounded by rich brick-red spandrels and a series of intricate borders featuring Ottoman-inspired floral motifs (carnations, tulips, and palmettes).

Thanks to the extremely high knot density characteristic of Özipek workshops, the details display surgical precision and finesse. The natural sheen of the silk and the contrasting color palette (red, black, gold, and cream) lend this collector’s piece a rare luminosity and elegance.
