Description
English: Silk Mamluk Carpet. This is the only preserved Mamluk silk carpet worldwide and one of the MAK Collection’s most famous exhibits. As its impressive size, materials, and design quality suggest, the carpet is a product of an accomplished court workshop and likely dates from the late period of the last Mamluk dynasty. The quantity of the colours used speaks for an earlier dating around 1500; the delicate vegetal border with leaf tendrils and the characteristic umbrella leaves rather points to a later dating.
