The designs of these rugs often feature a central medallion surrounded by multiple borders and smaller geometric patterns, such as stars, squares, and diamonds. These designs are inspired by the Islamic art and architecture of the Mamluk era, which is characterized by intricate geometric designs and patterns.Mamluk Oriental rugs are also known for their high knot density, which contributes to their durability and ability to withstand heavy foot traffic.
