Mamluk Rug

This magnificent oversized Mamluk rug is a masterwork of geometry, harmony, and historical reverence. Woven entirely by hand using handspun wool and natural vegetable dyes, it channels the enduring elegance of 15th-century Cairo into a contemporary format suited for grand interiors.

The design is centered around a complex star medallion radiating outward through tiered geometric layers—squares, octagons, and crosses—all meticulously balanced in symmetry. Echoing the architectural rhythm of Mamluk mosques and palaces, each motif is placed with mathematical precision.

Its richly saturated palette—typically led by crimson reds, mineral blues, and leaf greens—has been derived from natural dyes, giving the rug both visual depth and timeless durability. The scale of this piece makes it ideal for formal spaces, salons, or reception halls where it can anchor the room as a functional work of art.

Rooted in centuries-old design yet woven in modern times by master artisans, ART00741 is not merely a rug—it is a revival of a lost empire’s aesthetic, crafted to outlast trends and generations.
