Handwoven with reeds and leather circa 1950-1960, its natural materials enjoy warm beige, brown and black 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 vintage Moroccan Tuareg mat further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. less
