Vintage Berber Taznakht Moroccan Rug, Midcentury Meets Tribal Enchantment
Located in Dallas, TX
21272 Vintage Red Taznakht Moroccan Rug, 06'06 x 10'05. Taznakht Moroccan rugs are handwoven textiles originating from the Taznakht region in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, crafted by Berber women using traditional techniques passed down through generations. These rugs are characterized by vibrant colors derived from natural dyes, intricate tribal designs, and geometric patterns, showcasing the rich heritage of the region. Made from high-quality wool sourced locally, Taznakht rugs exhibit durability, softness, and resilience. Each rug is a unique masterpiece, meticulously crafted with hand-knotted fibers, making them highly valued for their cultural significance, exquisite craftsmanship, and timeless beauty in both decorative and functional settings.
Showcasing a traditional village design with incredible detail and texture, this hand-knotted wool vintage Berber Moroccan rug presents a captivating vision of woven beauty. The abrashed red field serves as the backdrop for a central star flower, while eight-point stars grace each corner. Encircling the field is a geometric tribal border, adding to the rug's historical richness and Ancient Berber symbolism. Traditional symbols of protection and femininity adorn the central area, while the borders along the sides symbolically represent the male presence. This arrangement, typical in Moroccan rugs, frames and encloses the female motifs, suggesting concepts of fertility, protection, and familial sanctuary.
With its rich patterns and unmistakable aspects of traditional Berber culture, this vintage Moroccan rug exudes nostalgic charm, promising to enhance the ambiance of any interior it graces. The intricate detailing and symbolism embedded within the rug's design speak to the heritage and craftsmanship of its creators, reflecting a deep connection to Berber traditions and values. As a testament to the enduring artistry of Berber weaving, this rug offers not only visual appeal but also a glimpse into the cultural narratives and symbolism woven into every fiber.
From the central star flower to the tribal borders, each element of this vintage Taznakht...

Good antique rugs and vintage rugs have made their way into homes across the globe, becoming fixtures used for comfort, prayer and self-expression, so choosing the right area rug is officially a universal endeavor.
In modern usage, “carpet” typically denotes a wall-to-wall floor cushioning that is fixed to the floor. Rugs, on the other hand, are designed to cover a specific area and can easily be moved to new locations. However, the terms are interchangeable in many parts of the world, and, in the end, it won’t matter what you decide to call it.
It’s well known that a timeless Persian rug or vintage Turkish rug can warm any interior, but there are lots of other styles of antique rugs to choose from when you're endeavoring to introduce fresh colors and textures to a bedroom or living room.
Moroccan Berber rugs are not all about pattern. In fact, some of the most striking examples are nearly monochrome. But what these rugs lack in complexity, they make up for in brilliant color and subtle variation. Moroccan-style interiors can be mesmerizing — a sitting room of this type might feature a Moroccan rug, carved wooden screens and a tapestry hung behind the sofa.
Handwoven kilim rugs, known for their wealth of rich colors and unique weaving tradition, are pileless: Whereas the Beni Ourain rugs of Morocco can be described as dense with a thick surface or pile, an authentic kilim rug is thin and flat. (The term “kilim” is Turkish in origin, but this type of textile artistry is practiced all across the Balkans, throughout the Arab world and elsewhere.)
When it comes to eye-catching floor coverings, the distinctive “medallion” pattern of Oushak rugs has two types of rounded shapes alternating against a rich red or blue background created with natural dyes, while the elaborate “star” pattern involves large eight-pointed shapes in diagonal rows alternating with diamonds.
If you’re looking for something unexpected, find a runner rug that pops in your hallway or on your stairs. Dig for dazzling geometric patterns in our inventory of mid-century modern rugs and carpets, which includes works designed by the likes of Swedish textile masters Märta Måås-Fjetterström, Marianne Richter and other artisans.
Carpets and rugs have been around for thousands of years. Prehistoric humans turned to animal skin, wool and fur to craft simple fabrics to soften hard terrain. A 2016 study suggests that "cave lions" were hunted for exactly this purpose, and that decorating your cave with their pelts may have conferred strength and prestige. Although many of these early textiles are still in existence, tracing their precise origins is difficult. Carpets quickly became such a valuable trade commodity that the weavings could easily travel far from their places of origin.
The oldest known carpet was found in southern Siberia. (It may have traveled there from Persepolis in Iran.) For the flat-weave floor rugs crafted by Native Americans, cotton was the primary material before sheep’s wool was introduced in the 16th century. In Europe, carpet-making was fundamental to folk art, and Asian carpets imported to European countries were at one time considered a precious luxury and not intended to remain permanently on the floor.
With the variety of area rugs and carpets rolled out for you on 1stDibs — a collection that includes traditional, modern, minimalist rugs and other coverings of all kinds — things will be looking up whenever you’re looking down.
