Quality
Woven using premium Welayati Kurk wool, this rug offers an exceptionally soft yet resilient pile. Kurk wool, taken from the finest part of the sheep’s fleece, provides a refined texture and a smooth finish that elevates the clarity of the Mamluk geometry. At 100 KPSI, the knot density ensures both detailed pattern definition and long-term durability—ideal for spaces that demand beauty without compromising strength.
The cotton foundation enhances structural stability, while the hand-knotting technique guarantees authenticity and heirloom longevity. This is not a machine-made interpretation; it is a true artisan-crafted textile built to age gracefully for decades.
