{"product_id":"ivory-handtufted-orh21043","title":"7'9''x9'9'' Hand tufted Wool \u0026 Pure Silk Ivory, Brown Mamluk Design Traditional Geometric Plush Pile Extreme dense pile Nourison Rug","description":"Inspired by the legendary Mamluk rugs of 15th-century Cairo, among the most geometrically sophisticated and historically significant carpets ever produced, this extraordinary piece brings one of the rug world's most coveted design traditions into stunning contemporary form. The original Mamluk rugs, woven for the royal courts and elite merchants of the Mamluk Sultanate, were distinguished by their mesmerizing star and medallion geometry radiating outward in infinite repeat, a design language drawn from Islamic architectural tilework and celestial symbolism, and that same hypnotic composition is rendered here with breathtaking precision across a rich palette of ivory, brown, maroon, black, olive, blue, and blush. Hand tufted in a sumptuous blend of wool and pure silk, the rug achieves an extreme density of pile that is immediately apparent underfoot while the silk content lifts the surface with a lustrous sheen that makes the geometric star pattern appear almost three-dimensional as light plays across it. Disclaimer: Due to studio lighting and variations in phone and monitor screen settings, the rug's colors may appear slightly different on screen than they do in person. However, the written color description ivory, brown, maroon, black, olive, blue, and blush is accurate to the actual product.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 7'9\"x9'9\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Tufted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool \u0026amp; Silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Ivory, Brown, Black, Blush, Maroon, Blue, Olive, Multi,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.75 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: ORH21043\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art: Mamluk rugs are among the most historically significant carpets in the Islamic weaving tradition, originating in Cairo, Egypt under the Mamluk Sultanate. Their designs are instantly recognizable, built around a central octagonal or star-shaped medallion that radiates outward in a complex, kaleidoscopic system of interlocking geometric forms, incorporating cypress trees, papyrus plants, and polygon shapes arranged with mesmerizing symmetry. Woven in wool with a distinctive S-spun pile that lends a characteristic sheen, Mamluk rugs remain highly prized by collectors and museums, and their extraordinary geometric compositions continue to inspire reproductions and reinterpretations to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52160511410469,"sku":"ORH21043","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A21043_20ebay.jpg?v=1774609537","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/ivory-handtufted-orh21043","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
