The Mamluk design takes its name from the Mamluk Sultanate of medieval Egypt, which produced some of the earliest known pile carpets in the Islamic world. The distinctive star-based geometry, radiating medallions and intricate interlocking forms have been in continuous production for over five centuries. Pakistani weavers produce this design in wool pile with silk highlights on cotton, drawing on one of the oldest and most architecturally resolved traditions in carpet weaving.
The multicolour palette on this large piece at 8 ft x 10 ft 5 in brings the geometric complexity to life. The design has a kaleidoscopic quality that rewards attention but also reads as a unified whole from a distance. The silk highlights trace the geometric forms, catching light against the wool field. The beige border provides clean definition.
In your home: Works in formal living rooms and dining rooms. The geometric composition suits rooms with architectural presence. Pairs with neutral walls that allow the design to take centre stage.
