Importante tappeto di produzione contemporanea realizzato interamente a mano in Afganistan, che si ispira ai famosi tappeti “mamelucchi”. Si chiamano mamelucchi i tappeti di manifattura egiziana, probabilmente del Cairo, tessuti nell’ultimo periodo del Sultanato omonimo che regnò su Egitto, Siria e Palestina dal 1250 al 1517, quando fu sconfitto dalle truppe dell’Impero Ottomano nel momento della sua massima espansione. Il disegno tipico di questi manufatti è caratterizzato da una ricca ornamentazione ad effetto caleidoscopico, con una gran varietà di motivi caratteristici come le piccole foglioline ad ombrello che alcuni identificano come foglie di papiro, pianta tipicamente egiziana. Altra caratteristica di questi tappeti è che il loro complesso e intricato disegno è realizzato con una ristretta gamma cromatica, normalmente di tre sole tonalità: il rosso, il verde e il blu. Il nostro tappeto è una rilettura in chiave moderna e utilizza una lana lucente che valorizza i colori acquamarina e bordò, creando un particolare effetto di chiaro scuro.

Beautiful Early Antique Egyptian Cairene Rug, Country Of Origin: Egypt, Circa Date: 16th Century. Size: 8 ft 9 in x 16 ft 3 in (2.67 m x 4.95 m) This amazing carpet was created in Cairo almost five centuries ago and is in exceptional condition for its age. Very few carpets of this age are still in existence and even fewer that are so exquisitely preserved. This antique carpet is more than likely of Mamluk origin, but when it was created, the Ottoman Turks were establishing their power. This carpet may be from this time of transition of power. It has many of the hallmarks of other known Mamluk carpets. The most notable characteristic is the use of only a limited color palette. The carpets feature a central design that is subdivided into sections and surrounded by scrollwork, leaves, and florals. It uses a high level of detail throughout the design, including shading, to give the shapes depth and character. It shows a high level of design and planning, which is indicative of one of the formal carpet weaving centers in Cairo. Although this Egyptian carpet...
