About the Item

Origin and Inspiration: The Mamlouk Rug is a contemporary masterpiece that draws its inspiration from the rich textile traditions of the Mamlouk Sultanate, which reigned over Egypt and the Levant from the 13th to the 16th centuries.

Every detail reflects the meticulous attention to detail that defines Mamluk craftsmanship. ✔ Materials: Pile: Hand-spun wool, dyed with natural substances to achieve authentic hues. Warp and Weft: Crafted entirely from wool, ensuring a robust and enduring foundation. ✔ Weaving Technique: Utilizes a symmetrical knotting method on a depressed warp, with knots inclining to the right.

Each element carries symbolic meaning, echoing the cultural and spiritual depth of this historic tradition. The design of this Mamlouk rug is a testament to the intricate artistry characteristic of the Mamlouk period. Key features include: ✔ Central Medallion: A prominent geometric medallion anchors the composition, featuring a complex interplay of polygons and stars, symbolizing unity and the infinite nature of the universe. ✔ Intricate Field Patterns: The field is adorned with a network of interlacing geometric motifs, including octagons, squares, and stars, meticulously arranged to create a sense of harmony and balance. ✔ Elaborate Borders: Multiple borders frame the central field, each embellished with repeating geometric patterns and stylized floral elements, enhancing the rug's depth and complexity. This design not only pays homage to historical Mamlouk aesthetics but also integrates seamlessly into contemporary settings, offering a timeless appeal. Color Palette and Dyes: The rug features a refined and timeless color palette, carefully selected to mirror the original, and has been masterfully blended to create a warm and inviting aesthetic. The natural dyes ensure a soft, matured patina that enhances the rug’s antique charm. Mamlouk rug features a sophisticated palette of seven natural colors, each derived from traditional dyeing techniques: Imperial Red 415: Sourced from madder root, providing a deep, regal red. Emerald Green 407: Achieved through a combination of chamomile and indigo, resulting in a vibrant green. Cadet Blue 26: Created using spurge and indigo, yielding a soft, muted blue.
