Product Details

Rugs of the Mamulk design, originating from the heart of the ancient Mamluk dynasty in Egypt, are masterpieces of historical significance and intricate craftsmanship. Their iconic design is defined by geometric precision, radiating medallions, and layers of concentric star-like patterns, often in deep reds, forest greens, and cobalt blues. The symmetrical layout and structured beauty of Mamulk rugs reflect the mathematical harmony favored by Islamic art, offering a sense of calm and architectural grace. These rugs are rare and highly prized among collectors and connoisseurs of antique and classical Persian-influenced weavings.

Wool with natural dyes
Mamulk rugs are traditionally woven using hand-spun wool dyed with natural pigments sourced from plants, minerals, and insects. The wool provides durability and a soft, dense pile, while the vegetable dyes age beautifully, gaining a soft patina over time. The result is a surface with depth and nuance, where colors subtly shift under natural light. This centuries-old dyeing tradition ensures that each rug remains environmentally friendly and culturally authentic.

Knotted by hand
Every Mamulk rug is hand-knotted using techniques passed down through generations. The knotting is dense and precise, allowing the rug’s intricate geometric motifs to emerge in full clarity. The time and skill required to produce even a small Mamulk rug make each piece a work of devotion and mastery. These rugs are not only floor coverings but historical artworks woven with intent, patience, and heritage. A fine Mamulk rug can last for centuries when properly cared for—truly a legacy to be passed down.
