Handmade Mamluk Wool Area Rug (9’3” x 12’2”)

Description

Mamluk wool rugs have a rich history that dates back to the 13th century in Central Asia, during the reign of the Mamluk Dynasty. Initially reserved for use by royal families within palaces, these rugs are meticulously crafted by hand with exceptionally fine knots. They are distinguished for featuring a prominent octagonal medallion as its central motif, which is surrounded by an array of sophisticated geometric designs adorning the borders.

Mamluk rugs are now being woven in Afghanistan and Pakistan as well. These exquisite handwoven pieces make use of only the finest quality wool to achieve intricate patterns that appear flawless. The wool is dyed using organic and natural dyes, resulting in a visually captivating look for these masterful handwoven creations. One striking feature of Mamluk rugs is their vibrant colors, with shades of red complemented by accents of blue, yellow, and green.  Due to its versatility in style coordination, this rug can effortlessly enhance the aesthetics of various interior designs. Owning a Mamluk rug allows you to experience a touch of history through an enduring art form while adding elegance to your space.
