On the Design:

This piece enjoys a rich brown background with a beige lattice pattern, or “lozenge” diamonds, as they’re known in the Berber tradition. Keen eyes will further admire warm red and pink accents, particularly in the border, though also within the field. These color variations play fabulously with the textural look inherent to this primitivist weaving style and its rich, personal look. Overall it’s an exemplary work among tribal rugs from Morocco found today—known for their archaic beauty and playful demeanor.

Condition:

This Azilal runner further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. less
