Mamluk Rugs, with roots tracing back to the 13th century in Central Asia, were originally crafted for royal families during the Mamluk Dynasty. Each piece is intricately woven by hand using exceptionally fine knots and showcases a signature octagonal medallion at its center, surrounded by elaborate geometric patterns that frame the borders.
These exceptional rugs, with their vibrant patterns and unique designs, bring warmth and character to any room. Crafted in remote regions, they reflect the heritage and commitment of artisans from communities dedicated to preserving this timeless tradition. Owning one of these exquisite pieces means embracing that cultural legacy and helping to sustain the livelihoods of the talented individuals who create them.
How Orientiq Rugs Are Made
Our rugs are sourced from various regions across the Middle East, where rug-making has been a cherished tradition for generations. It all begins with the careful gathering of wool from local sheep, followed by a detailed sorting process to select only the highest-quality fibers. After the wool is washed, combed, and spun, it is dyed using natural pigments to achieve a rich palette of vibrant colors. Master weavers then bring these fibers to life, weaving them into intricate patterns that embody cultural heritage and a deep commitment to their craft.
