Fragment of an Ottoman Court Carpet

Fragment of an Ottoman Court Carpet. Dimensions: Rug: L. 62 in. (157.5 cm)
W. 69 1/4 in. (175.9 cm)
 Wt. 21lbs. (9.5 kg) with cradle. Date: last quarter 16th century.
Although Mamluk Cairo fell to the Ottomans in 1517, the city continued to be a major center for artistic production. Using the same materials and techniques as earlier Mamluk carpets, Ottoman court carpets such as this were produced in Egypt for export, primarily to the Ottoman court in Istanbul. The immense scale of this carpet's drawing suggests it once formed part of an even larger carpet.
