EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Carpet Fragment from Egypt, dating back to the Mamluk period (1250-1517) in the late 15th or early 16th century. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this exquisite piece exemplifies the rich heritage and artistic brilliance of Egyptian craftsmanship. The carpet's vibrant colors and intricate design immediately draw one's attention. Its geometric patterns, meticulously woven using wool plain weave with supplementary wrapping wefts forming cut pile through a technique known as sehna knots, are a testament to the skill and expertise of its unknown creator. As an object of decorative art, this carpet fragment represents both cultural significance and aesthetic beauty. It reflects the fusion of Persian influences with local Egyptian traditions during this period. The soft furnishing adds warmth and elegance to any space it adorns.
