This Mamluk rug (147 × 100 cm) brings the rich geometric legacy of historic Cairene carpet weaving into modern interiors. Hand‑knotted from high‑quality wool, this rug marries precision‑driven design with deep, jewel‑toned colours, making it a captivating focal point for living rooms, studies, or reception areas.

Origin & Cultural Heritage

Mamluk rugs originated in Cairo, Egypt during the late 15th and early 16th centuries when workshop production under the Mamluk Sultanate produced carpets prized for royal palaces and elite households. Famous for their geometric precision and artful balance, these carpets reflect influences from Islamic architecture and mosaics and were exported widely across the Mediterranean. Today the Mamluk name is used to describe rugs inspired by this classic historic style. 

Design & Aesthetic Value

This Mamluk rug showcases a meticulously structured geometric composition, often with one or more central medallions, polygonal star motifs, and a rhythmic arrangement of smaller geometric elements. Deep, jewel‑like hues such as rich reds, blues, greens, and gold‑toned accents create visual depth and harmony that complement both classic and contemporary décor.

• Geometric medallions and precise symmetrical patterns
