Important contemporary production carpet made entirely by hand in Turkey, which is inspired by the famous “Mamluk” carpets. Mamluks are called Egyptian-made carpets, probably from Cairo, woven in the last period of the Sultanate of the same name that ruled Egypt, Syria and Palestine from 1250 to 1517, when it was defeated by troops of the Ottoman Empire at the height of its expansion. The typical design of these artifacts is characterized by rich ornamentation to kaleidoscopic effect, with a wide variety of characteristic motifs such as small umbrella leaves that some identify as leaves of papyrus, a typically Egyptian plant. Another characteristic of these carpets is that their complex and intricate design is made with a narrow color range, normally of only three shades: red, green, and blue, which can in rare cases go up to a maximum of 6 or 7 colors, with the addition of yellow, dark brown, and ivory white, and sometimes a shade of light blue.
