Tribal Mamluk Ron Rust/Blue Wool Rug - 9'9'' x 13'6''

A coral octagonal medallion sits on a blue field of small motifs, framed by wide coral panels and borders. The medallion gives the room a natural focal point, and the layered geometry rewards a closer look. This 10x14 Mamluk area rug comes in rust and blue.

Mamluk weavers in Cairo became known for crisp geometry and tightly balanced layouts, and this rug follows that tradition. Each layer of the design is framed by another, so the medallion seems to open outward like a series of windows. A coral octagonal medallion sits on a blue field of small motifs, framed by wide coral panels and borders, so the coral and blue play off each other across the whole rug. It was hand knotted in Afghanistan from New Zealand wool with natural dyes, and the wool's natural shine keeps the coral soft rather than loud. At about 10 by 14 feet, it fills a large room. Beyond its shine, the New Zealand wool is strong and resilient, so the rug keeps its look for years. You may notice an abrash across the field, a gentle shift in shade within a single color that comes from natural dye taking a little differently from batch to batch. The pile is dense and even, and it stands up well to daily use.

It holds a full living room seating group, a dining table for six to eight, or a spacious primary bedroom. The warm rust and blue palette suits bohemian, traditional, and transitional rooms, and it pairs well with leather, dark wood, and brass. It is a natural centerpiece for a room built around classic furniture, and it softens a very modern space.
