The Mamluk design has its origins in the workshops of medieval Egypt and represents one of the oldest continuous traditions in carpet weaving. The star-based geometry and radiating medallion forms are architecturally resolved in a way that few other carpet compositions achieve. Pakistani weavers reproduce this tradition in wool pile with silk highlights on cotton, keeping the geometric integrity of the original intact.
The multicolour palette of this large piece at 7 ft 10 in x 10 ft 6 in gives the intricate geometric forms visual depth and variety. No two sections of the design read the same colour twice, which creates a richness that rewards movement around the room. The silk highlights catch light differently from the surrounding wool, accentuating the geometric structure.
In your home: Works in formal sitting rooms and dining rooms. The geometric design suits rooms with architectural character and considered furnishing. Pairs with neutral or stone-coloured walls that let the carpet take the lead.
