The fine silk weave gives the rug a lustrous sheen and luxurious tactile quality that sets it apart from any wool-pile equivalent — the silk pile catching and reflecting light with a brilliance that transforms the composition throughout the day.

Turkish silk rugs represent the highest expression of Anatolian weaving skill — requiring extraordinary technical mastery to work the fragile, precious fiber into compositions of great delicacy and precision. This piece is equally compelling displayed on the floor as a sophisticated area rug or hung as a decorative wall tapestry, where the silk's natural luminosity can be fully appreciated.
