This is a rare masterpiece. While most Hereke rugs feature rich curvilinear and arabesque patterns combining the two principal oriental motifs – the niche (mihrab) and the vase; this gorgeous semi-antique piece draws on the ancient Safavid/Ottoman hunting traditions and displays a horseman (an austringer) and the falcon. It is a gem to be cherished by the most discriminate of art collectors and aficionados.
