Mamluk Rugs - Regal Geometry, Historic Grandeur
Step into a world of opulence and history with our exquisite Mamluk rugs, renowned for their complex geometric designs, vibrant jewel tones, and imperial elegance. Originally woven in 15th-century Cairo for the Mamluk Sultanate, today's Mamluk rugs are masterfully hand-knotted in Afghanistan, preserving the splendour of their ancient origins.
Woven from finely spun wool and dyed with natural, vegetable-based pigments, Mamluk rugs are distinguished by their elaborate central medallions, multi-layered starbursts, and symmetrical architectural motifs. The intricate patterning is executed with mathematical precision, often featuring detailed borders and repeated shapes that create a sense of movement and harmony.
Their rich colour palette-featuring deep reds, emerald greens, sapphire blues, and golden ochres-makes them a bold yet refined choice for formal living spaces, dining areas, or grand entrances. The high knot density and fine detailing speak to their superior craftsmanship and lasting quality.
A Mamluk rug is more than a decorative piece-it's a statement of historic artistry and timeless luxury, perfect for interiors that blend classical influence with modern sophistication.
