The Mamluk rug collection is made in Egypt from an old technique of hand knotted wool. Their designs consist of large medallions made up of intersecting compartments of various forms distinguishable not only by their distinctive ornament, but also by their lustrous wool, fine weave and soft, closely valued coloration dominated by pale greens, yellows and reds.
