A Masterpiece Woven back in 2004: 32x32 Double Turkish Knot in Pure Silk
In the history of carpet weaving, some pieces transcend being mere products — they represent the pinnacle of technical achievement.
Woven in 2004, this iconic “Cirit (Mounted Javelin)” design silk wall carpet is an extraordinary example of craftsmanship, featuring handwoven pure silk and an exceptional density of 32x32 = 1,024 double Turkish (Gördes) knots per cm².
🔹 Handwoven
🔹 100% pure silk
🔹 32x32 double Turkish knot
🔹 1,024 knots per cm²
🔹 Pictorial composition with miniature-level detail
The Turkish (Gördes) knot — a symmetrical double knot securing two warp threads — is structurally stronger and significantly more demanding to execute than asymmetric knotting techniques. Achieving a 32x32 density using this method requires not only artistic mastery, but mathematical precision and physical control at the highest level.
This piece represents a distinct and exceptional technical milestone within the category of “the finest silk carpets woven using the Turkish double-knot technique.”
The dynamism of the cirit scene, the fluid movement of the figures, the micro-level color transitions, and the compositional balance reflect the point where traditional Turkish carpet weaving meets art, craftsmanship, and engineering excellence.
This is not merely a carpet.
It is patience, mastery, and cultural heritage woven into silk.
