APPROX. 25-30 YR. OLD TURKISH HEREKE HAND KNOTTED WOOL RUG, 8' x 11'10'': This lovely rug has a sort of ''Mille fleur'' or thousand flowers design. The deep blue field is covered with an overall pattern of open medallions formed by different types and colors, sprays of flowers. Sometimes vases of flowers, sometimes palmettes and large leaves are incorporated in their designs. The wine red main border and six lighter colored guard borders complete this very pretty, fresh looking rug. There is a cartouche near one corner of the rug with the name ''Hereke'' so there is no question where this rug was woven! Condition is good.
