Oversized Vintage Moroccan Tuareg Mat With Geometric Patterns, From Rug & Kilim

This oversized vintage Moroccan floor covering is a 9×18 Tuareg mat from the nomadic tribe of the same name. Handwoven with reeds and leather circa 1950-1960, its natural materials enjoy warm brown, red and beige tones in its geometric patterns.

On the Design:

Connoisseurs will admire Tuareg mats as distinct works with their own rich history and unique, masterful craftsmanship. This design is also one of few in its kind to favor a minimalist approach to the primitivist Berber geometric patterns. The large size further connotes a particularly intricate work—likely made by two or more weavers with meticulous detail. It’s as much a collectible piece of folk art and nomadic culture as a comfortable, durable floor covering today.

Condition:

This oversized vintage Moroccan Tuareg mat further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
