This vintage Moroccan rug is a 4×6 Tuareg mat from the nomadic tribe of the same name. Handwoven with reeds and leather circa 1950-1960, its natural materials enjoy warm beige and brown tones, with burgundy stripes and finely woven geometric patterns in the primitivist Berber style.
On the Design:
Connoisseurs will know Tuareg mats as distinct works with their own rich history and unique, masterful craftsmanship. Keen eyes will further admire an ochre accent in the chevrons and motifs, as well as the intricate detail of the pattern overall. It’s as much a collectible piece of folk art and nomadic culture as a comfortable, durable floor covering in a versatile small size with vast design applications today.
Condition:
This mid-century Tuareg further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
