FAQs

Hereke carpets originated in the coastal town of Hereke near Istanbul, historically produced in imperial workshops for Ottoman palaces. They are renowned worldwide for their exceptionally high knot density, intricate floral designs, and master craftsmanship.

Authentic Hereke carpets are traditionally handknotted using fine wool, silk, or a combination of both on a cotton or silk foundation. The double-knot Ghiordes technique is typically employed to achieve high durability and intricate pattern resolution.

Authentication involves examining the knot count per square centimetre, which is exceptionally high in genuine pieces. Additionally, experts inspect the natural dyes, hand-spun fibres, specific floral motifs, and the signature quality of the weave on the reverse side.

An antique Hereke carpet works effectively as a statement anchor piece in a contemporary setting by contrasting ornate traditional patterns with minimalist modern furniture. Placing it over neutral wooden flooring allows the rich colours and complex motifs to become the focal point.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialist cleaning every few years, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight to protect the natural dyes. Using a breathable underlay also prevents friction wear and slipping.
