This piece comes from that tradition — the Cairene geometry, executed with Afghan wool and Afghan hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eDesign and Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre sits a stepped \u003cstrong\u003eoctagonal medallion\u003c\/strong\u003e: a cream core filled with minute floral sprigs, framed by concentric bands of rust red and ice blue, and set into a broad \u003cstrong\u003esaffron-gold eight-pointed star\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is the classic Mamluk centre, and here it is given the room to be read whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe field around it runs in a soft \u003cstrong\u003edusty rose\u003c\/strong\u003e that carries an all-over drawing of tiny rosettes, palmettes and stepped lozenges. \u003cstrong\u003eRust-red octagonal rosettes\u003c\/strong\u003e mark the four corners of the inner field, \u003cstrong\u003eice-blue lancet leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e and small navy accents thread through the pattern, and narrow cartouche panels close the composition at both ends. The main border repeats the rose ground with a dense floral vine, edged by cream and blue guard stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole palette stays low and warm — rose, saffron, terracotta and cream, with blue used only as a cool counterpoint.

A cotton warp holds its length under tension, which is what keeps a carpet of over five metres straight and true over the years. Handspun yarn takes dye unevenly by nature, and that is what produces the gentle horizontal movement across the ground — an abrash that keeps a field of this size alive rather than flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eQuality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnotted at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e360,000 to 400,000 knots per square metre\u003c\/strong\u003e, or roughly \u003cstrong\u003e230 to 260 kpsi\u003c\/strong\u003e — a density well above what this design is usually given, which is why the smallest sprigs inside the medallion and the fine border vine stay legible instead of collapsing into blocks. The pile is kept low at \u003cstrong\u003e8 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the geometry reads cleanly across the full 5.1 metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2
