Description
A wonderful vibrant Antique Mamluk carpet woven in central Anatolia woven with an Ushak knot but using this ancient 15th century design. With a fine weave and deep tomato reds, golden yellows and soft pale blues, a warm and inviting colour palette. This piece is in remarkable original pile and condition, with a few minor old repairs, the majority is all as the day it was woven around 130 years ago.
Mamluk carpets, known for their geometric designs and vibrant colors, represent a fascinating and short-lived tradition in the history of textile art. Their production, primarily in Cairo, flourished during the 15th and early 16th centuries, following the reign of the Mamluk Sultan Qaitbay. These designs were often copied and popular amongst the Anatolian weavers of Ushak in central Turkey.
If you would like to view this antique carpet at home or in our showroom, you are very welcome to book in an appointment soon. You can also request to reserve this carpet for your home or project so you do not miss out on it, we are happy to help you in this way.
Ushak rugs and carpets were woven in the Anatolian highlands south of Istanbul where they used extremely soft wool and using the larger Turkish knot made them weave more open designs than Persian carpets. They are increasingly desirable today due to their sometimes softer palette than Persian carpets, thus making them easy to place in a drawing room or under a dining table.
We offer the service of viewing any of our carpets & rugs in-situ in London, Surrey, Hampshire the UK & Europe by appointment.
