Mamluk style places great emphasis on abstract geometrical patterns. Mamluk door panels is an example of absract geometrical pattern and Mamluk/Venitian candle sticks combine the absract with a floral design.

The raised designs on the blade with heavy gold overlay are an abstract geometrical floral design, you can see the vine and leaf if you look carefully.
