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\u003eA commanding \u003cstrong\u003ecentral octagon\u003c\/strong\u003e anchors the field, surrounded by star elements and the small kaleidoscopic medallions that give the Mamluk repertoire its optical depth. Around them the drawing repeats in smaller registers, so the eye keeps finding new symmetries at closer range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ground is a quiet \u003cstrong\u003ebeige with a warm sand tone\u003c\/strong\u003e, deliberately restrained so that the geometry carries the piece. The motifs are traced in soft \u003cstrong\u003epowder blue\u003c\/strong\u003e, muted \u003cstrong\u003eterracotta\u003c\/strong\u003e and low earth tones, with ivory used to open up the finer registers. The overall palette is subdued rather than saturated — a large rug that fills a room without competing with what stands on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eMaterial and Weave\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pile is \u003cstrong\u003e100 % wool\u003c\/strong\u003e, handspun in Afghanistan, knotted onto a \u003cstrong\u003ecotton foundation\u003c\/strong\u003e. A cotton warp holds its length under tension, which is what keeps a carpet of nearly six 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 smaller registers of the Mamluk drawing 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 5.8 metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2
