Hereke Chinese Rug 180 × 120 cm, Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin China, format 180 × 120 cm — a Hereke made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 2.16 m², or 5.9' × 3.9'.

Construction

Stated material: 100% silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

How it reads

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age and condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
