This Mamluk rug (152 × 102 cm) embodies the historic geometric elegance of one of the most distinguished Oriental carpet traditions. Hand‑knotted from high‑quality wool with precise symmetry and rich colours, this rug adds cultural depth and visual sophistication to living rooms, entryways, or lounges.

Origin & Cultural Heritage

Mamluk carpets originated in Cairo, Egypt during the era of the Mamluk Sultanate (roughly late 15th to early 16th century), where they were produced for palaces and elite households. Characterised by their architectural precision and balanced geometric layouts, these carpets reflect design principles drawn from Islamic art, architecture and mosaics. Although many original works are preserved in museums worldwide, the Mamluk style continues to inspire contemporary handmade rugs today. 

Design & Aesthetic Value

This Mamluk rug showcases a meticulously arranged field of geometric medallions, stars and polygonal shapes, often radiating from a central axis to produce a kaleidoscopic visual effect. The jewel‑toned palette — including deep reds, blues, greens and warm accents — brings depth and harmony to the overall design, making the rug a striking visual centerpiece whether placed in traditional or contemporary interiors. 

• Geometric medallions and symmetrical star motifs

Care & Maintenance

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your Mamluk rug, follow these care recommendations:

• Blot spills immediately; avoid rubbing or harsh cleaning that can damage fibres.
• Professional cleaning is recommended for deep washing when needed.
