Carpet with the pattern of ancient Mamluk carpets and light shade
About the Item
Important contemporary production carpet made entirely by hand in Turkey, which is inspired by the famous "Mamluk" carpets. Mamluks are called Egyptian-made carpets, probably from Cairo, woven in the last period of the Sultanate of the same name that ruled Egypt, Syria and Palestine from 1250 to 1517, when it was defeated by troops of the Ottoman Empire at the height of its expansion. The typical design of these artifacts is characterized by rich ornamentation to kaleidoscopic effect, with a wide variety of characteristic motifs such as small umbrella leaves that some identify as leaves of papyrus, a typically Egyptian plant. Another characteristic of these carpets is that their complex and intricate design is made with a narrow color range, normally of only three shades: red, green, and blue, which can in rare cases go up to a maximum of 6 or 7 colors, with the addition of yellow, dark brown, and ivory white, and sometimes a shade of light blue.

- Ararat Rugs Mamluk Wagireh Rug with Lattice Pattern Design Egypt Revival CarpetBy Ararat RugsLocated in Tokyo, JPThis lattice pattern is composed of palmettes and leaves filling the various compartments against the imposing ground. One has the impression that it is only part of a larger scheme designed 15th-century rug from the Mamluk era, Cairo region, Eygpt. These designs have often been described as wagirehs or samplers and were said to have been used as weaver`s aids, or for demonstration purposes, made as a template or pattern for the carpet design and production of larger rugs, they are generally small pieces of the size of a scatter rug or mat. Mamluk carpets originated in a physical environment that lacked the combination of abundant marginal grazing land and a temperate climate with cool winters that were common to most carpet-weaving areas in the Islamic world. While related to a broader tradition of Turkish weaving centered in Anatolia, far to the north, the designs of these carpets include atypical elements, such as stylized papyrus plants, that are deeply rooted in Egyptian tradition. Their unusual composition and layout probably represent an attempt to develop a distinctive product that could in effect establish a “Mamluk brand” in the lucrative European export market. The uncharacteristic color scheme—devoid of the undyed white pile and employing a limited range of three or five hues in much the same value—also suggests a conscious attempt to create a particular stylistic identity. Also virtually unique in the world of Islamic carpets is the S-spun wool. It has been argued that the tradition of clockwise wool spinning originated in Egypt because of the earlier Egyptian tradition of spinning flax into linen thread. Details of the plant’s botanical structure make it impossible to spin flax fiber in the more common counterclockwise direction utilized throughout the Middle East for wool and cotton. Mamluk carpets with the color combinations seen in the Simonetti are now generally accepted as part of an earlier tradition that has many links to the weaving of Anatolia, Iran, and Syria. The “three-color” Mamluk carpets, well represented in the Metropolitan’s collection, represent a later development that continued well after the Ottoman conquest of Egypt in 1517. Many such carpets may have been produced well into the seventeenth century, and possibly even later. (Walter B. Denny in [Ekhtiar, Soucek, Canby, and Haidar 2011]). The design of the rug is interpreted by our designers from our Mamlouk-type rugs collection and soft colors are used for this rug.
