The design source of the rug comes from the book Tapis du Caucase – Rugs of the Caucasus, Ian Bennett & Aziz Bassoul, The Nicholas Sursock Museum, Beirut, Lebanon 2003, nr.29 and Oriental Rugs Volume 1 Caucasian, Ian Bennett, Oriental Textile Press, Aberdeen 1993, nr.93 and Caucasian Carpets, E. Gans-Reudin, Thames and Hudson, Switzerland 1986, pg.144. This is a large medallion rug from the late 19th century, Karabakh, Chelaberd (a village slightly to the southeast of Chondzoresk) region, Caucasus area. At Chelaberd, carpets were manufactured according to strict regulations; and, as a result, dimensions, motifs, and borders are approximately the same throughout. This example bears large medallions on its red ground; the colored features stand out well against the white ground. There has been all manner of suggestions as to the identity of this cruciform motif spiked with long-stemmed flowers: according to various traditions, it has been taken for a bird in flight, a sun flashing its beams of light, crossed swords, or even the coat of arms of a family or town. As a result, this type of carpet is habitually called an ‘Eagle Kazak (Adler in German)’, ‘Sun or Sunburst Kazak...

This hand-knotted rug is a bold reinterpretation of the historic Mamluk “chessboard” layout—an architectural field design built from a grid of repeated octagonal star motifs. Unlike classical Mamluk rugs, which often featured deep crimson and emerald tones, this version introduces an earthy and luminous palette of ochre gold, teal green, soft ivory, and sky blue. The result is a brighter, more contemporary vision of a centuries-old form. The source of carpet comes from the book Islamic Carpets, Joseph V. McMullan, Near Eastern Art Research Center Inc., New York 1965 nr.28. The field of the so-called "Chessboard" Carpet ( so-called Checkerboard Rug...

The source of the rug comes from the book Renaissance of Islam, Art of the Mamluks, Esin Atil, Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington D.C., 1981 nr.126. This rug with palm trees and cypresses was designed in the late 15th-century rug by Mamluk Sultane of Cairo, Egypt. It is exhibited at the Washington D.C. The Textile Museum, R.16.1.3. The central square displays the ultimate expression of a geometric pattern based on multiples of eight. It contains a central octagon filled with red lancet leaves on the ground. In the core is a multipetaled blossom enclosed by a medallion surrounded by an eight-pointed star. Triangles placed around the octagon transform it into an eight-pointed star enclosed by a frame with papyrus sprays on the ground. Encircling this zone is a series of polygons with rosettes, which form an immense sixteen-pointed star. The corners of the central square have quatrefoils on the ground. The transverse bands above and below the central square have the ground with palm trees alternating with cypresses flanked by papyrus sprays, all of which are oriented toward the center. The border is densely packed with alternating oval cartouches and eight-lobed medallions. These units are filled with papyrus motifs, which evolve from lozenges in the middle of the ovals; they also radiate from squares in the medallions filled with multipetaled blossoms. The ovals in the center of the long sides are contracted and contain only lozenges. Double guard borders, decorated with leaf scrolls, repeat the color scheme. This rug contains several decorative elements employed in other contemporary arts. The naturalistic cypresses growing on the transverse bands are similar to those on metal objects and tiles and to those in the stained-glass windows in the mausoleum of Sultan Qaitbay, completed in 1472-74. The design of the rug is interpreted by our designers and soft colors are chosen for this rug.
