Antique Mamluk carpet woven in Anatolia woven with an Ushak knot but using a Mamluk design. A striking antique carpet with vivid colours that would lift many rooms. In excellent condition please enquire if you would like to view this in your own home.
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.
