This Mamluk rug (146 × 104 cm) celebrates the historic elegance of a distinguished Oriental carpet tradition with a strong geometric composition and jewel‑inspired colours. Hand‑knotted from high‑quality wool, it brings timeless sophistication and artistic depth to living rooms, lounges, or statement décor spaces.

Origin & Cultural Heritage

Mamluk rugs originated in the courts and workshops of Cairo during the Mamluk Sultanate in Egypt around the late 15th and early 16th centuries. These carpets were historically prized for their meticulous geometric design and balanced compositions, reflecting the artistic influences of Islamic architecture, mosaics, and decorative arts. Today the term “Mamluk” also describes rugs inspired by this classic style that are hand‑woven in traditional rug weaving regions. 

Design & Aesthetic Value

This Mamluk rug displays a balanced symphony of geometric elements and medallion motifs arranged with precision and visual rhythm. Characteristic jewel‑toned colours — such as deep reds, rich blues, greens, and golden accents — enrich the design, creating depth and harmony throughout the field and borders. The geometric medallion often takes centre stage, giving a sense of order and refined sophistication to any interior.
