1950s Vintage Moroccan Tuareg Mat in Beige and Red Stripes, From Rug & Kilim

This vintage Moroccan rug is an 11×15 Tuareg mat from the nomadic tribe of the same name. Handwoven with reeds and leather circa 1950-1960, its natural materials enjoy warm beige-brown undertones, and its design plays red stripes with bright accents in jewel tones.

On the Design:

Connoisseurs will admire Tuareg mats as distinct works with their own rich history and unique, masterful craftsmanship. The large size further connotes a particularly intricate work—likely made by two or more weavers with meticulous detail. Keen eyes will admire the playful touch in its bright yellow and teal green accents, very much in the primitivist Berber style and attitude. It’s as much a collectible piece of folk art and nomadic culture as a comfortable, durable floor covering.

Condition:

This mid-century Tuareg further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
