Handwoven Carpet, Corner Medallion Layout, All Silk, Hereke, 170 × 260 cm Ref 10400045

This distinguished all-silk handwoven rug measures 170 × 260 cm (5'7" × 8'6") with an area of 4.42 m² (47.58 ft²), standing among the finest expressions of Persian all-silk weaving. With a weaving density of approximately 10,000 knots/dm², it embodies exceptional finesse and meticulous craftsmanship. Woven entirely from pure silk, the piece offers unparalleled softness, while the natural sheen animates the colors so they come alive and seem to dance in the light. The classical medallion-and-corner design presents a well-balanced central medallion with corner spandrels. A cream field acts as a luminous canvas for the floral motifs, while the navy border lends the composition a poised, traditional dignity. The fine small-scale florals recall the miniature-painting aesthetics of the Qajar and Safavid periods.
