The Middle East is historically known as a source of beautiful, elegant antique oriental rugs, and Turkey is one of the most well-renowned sources of those Turkish carpets. Of particular interest are the Hereke rugs made in the small coastal town of Hereke, Turkey. Antique Hereke rugs are truly beautiful pieces of art, and it’s truly mind-boggling to think that so many beautiful pieces came from a single town.
