Antique Hereke Geometric Beige Silk Rug 10858

Originating from Turkey in 1910, this antique Hereke rug hosts an iconic variation of the Memling Gul, an eight-pointed star motif named for historian Hans Memling symbolizing the womb of the mother goddess and representing a tribal family symbol of the era. Hand-knotted in high quality, lustrous silk, the golden beige and green motifs alternate a series of cream Burdock protective motifs, complemented by bold orange accents in the field while framed by the pairs of mirrored tribal borders hosting floral and Goz eye symbols befitting the tone of protection.
