This striking Mamluk rug from Afghanistan is a rare fusion of ancient symmetry and ethereal softness. Rendered in pale celadon and misty aqua tones, its layout revolves around a radiating central medallion enclosed by layered geometric frames and rosette-filled panels — all hallmarks of classical Mamluk design originating from 15th-century Cairo.
The rug’s refined color palette gives the complex architecture of the pattern a tranquil, almost translucent presence, perfect for interiors that crave subtle drama. It invites closer inspection with its delicate detailing and whisper-soft abrash, making it a standout choice for elegant living rooms or serene studies.
