I plan to get the book I cited at some point--it is in my University Library; owever, the "Islamic Textiles" reference seems more promising for this articular question. As Anatolia and Egypt were both part of the Ottoman mpire, it doesn't seem so far-fetched that there might have been movement of otton from one part to the other, or, as you suggest, the same sort of onditions might have prevailed in Egypt. If I find out anything more, I'll be ure to post it.
