Rustic Mamluk Blue/Rust Wool Rug - 9'0'' x 12'10''

A green and gold octagonal medallion sits between two round rosettes on a bright turquoise field, inside a rust border. Its layered symmetry draws the eye to the center, with new details to find the closer you look. It is a 9x13 Mamluk area rug in blue and rust. The roots of this design go back to medieval Egypt, where Mamluk weavers built their patterns from interlocking geometric shapes. A Mamluk rug is often described as one of the most disciplined designs in the rug world, with almost no curves at all. The bright turquoise field is what sets this rug apart, with a green and gold octagonal medallion between two round rosettes. It was hand knotted in Afghanistan from New Zealand wool with natural dyes, and the wool's natural shine makes the turquoise glow. The rust border adds a warm contrast to the cool field. The New Zealand wool is also tough and resilient, which is why it wears so well over time. 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. Underfoot it feels soft and dense, and it holds up well in busy rooms. It holds a full living room seating group, a dining table for six to eight, or a spacious primary bedroom. The blue and rust palette suits bohemian, eclectic, and classic traditional rooms, and it pairs well with white walls, natural wood, and brass. As a statement piece, it pairs well with simple, solid-colored furniture that lets the pattern lead.
