Doris Leslie Blau Rare 16th Century Cairene Runner

About the Item

Authentic 16th century Cairene runner Size: 3'0" × 13'1" (91 × 398 cm) A 16th century Cairene antique runner, the abrashed dusty rose field with stylized leaves and rosettes overall around a column of cusped medallions with crosses at each end and containing a floral branch within an ivory rosette border. Woven in Egypt under imperial Ottoman Turkish rule, ‘Cairene’ rugs are among the rarest and most luxurious antique rugs. Although made for high-level Turkish patrons, the style of such Cairene carpets is strongly Persianized. This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.

Ararat Rugs Mamluk Carpet, 16th Century Antique Revival Rug, Natural Dyed
By Ararat Rugs
Located in Tokyo, JP
The source of the rug comes from the book Völker, Angela, Die orientalischen Knüpfteppiche das MAK, Vienna: Böhlau, 2001: 42–5. This rug with the central star was designed in the early 16th century rug by Mamluk Sultane of Cairo, Egypt. It is exhibited at MAK – Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna Austria. As its impressive size, materials, and design quality suggest, the carpet is a product of an accomplished court workshop and likely dates from the late period of the last Mamluk dynasty. The quantity of the colors used speaks for an earlier date around 1500; the delicate vegetal border with leaf tendrils and the characteristic umbrella leaves...
