Samarkand / Mamluk carpets

Exclusive Mamluk carpets in unique designs

Mamluk carpets have been known for their beauty and elegance for centuries. They are handmade and are famous for their high quality wool and distinctive design. Mamluk carpets were originally produced during the reign of the Mamluks, a group of once-soldier slaves of Turkish origin who founded an empire in Egypt and promoted the production of carpets. In the 15th century, the production of hand-knotted carpets flourished in Cairo, laying the foundation for the tradition of Mamluk carpets.

Nowadays, Mamluk carpets are also hand-knotted in Pakistan and India and are known for their distinctive design and high-quality, soft wool. The carpets are in subtle colors such as green, red and yellow, which gives them a colorful elegance.
