6x9 Turkish Silk Rug | Starburst Medallion | Navy and Sky Blue | Signed 700 KPSI
This 6 x 9'3 hand-knotted Turkish silk rug is a signed collector piece woven entirely in pure silk, with a luminous sheen that shifts as light moves across the surface. A radiant starburst medallion anchors the center, its rays opening outward in disciplined symmetry across an ivory ground that is itself flanked by deep navy spandrels. The palette of navy blue, sky blue, ivory, golden beige, and soft gray reads as quietly regal, framed by a finely drawn border of floral cartouches and arabesque scrollwork. A woven signature confirms authenticity and places this rug in the realm of collectible art rather than ordinary décor.
Design and Motifs
The composition is built around a multi-pointed starburst medallion, drawn with the precision of a fine pen and ringed by concentric rosette and palmette bands. The four corners carry matched navy spandrels filled with arabesque vinework, balancing the center and giving the field its strong architectural pull. The main border alternates floral cartouches with curling arabesques, supported by slim guard borders that echo the inner palette. Every line is drawn with the discipline associated with Turkish court weaving traditions, particularly the Hereke and Kayseri schools.
Colors and Placement
Pure silk fibers carry color with extraordinary depth, and the navy here reads almost black at low angles and shifts to a true cobalt under direct light. The sky-blue accents, ivory ground, and warm golden beige highlights give the rug a luxurious, jewel-like presence. At 6 x 9'3 it scales beautifully as a centerpiece in a formal living room, study, or master bedroom, and it also performs as a wall hanging where the changing sheen of silk can be fully appreciated.
Origin and Construction
Woven in Turkey at roughly 700 knots per square inch on a 100% silk foundation with pure silk pile, this rug represents the upper tier of Turkish silk weaving. The high knot density is what allows the starburst rays, the arabesque scrolls, and the cartouche outlines to be rendered as cleanly as they are. The woven signature confirms a specific weaver was willing to put their name to the piece
