About the Item

1970s Moroccan Oulmes rug handwoven with shades of framboise and blush high pile wool in an abstract Berber design. The Oulmes rugs come from the Zemmour tribe, inhabiting the beautiful area of the Middle Atlas. They produce unique rugs that blend geometric shapes and abstract art, known for their sumptuous pile. Each rug takes up to a year to make. A woman will first select the sheep she will use for the long process, then dying the wool to cover the amount she will need. Typically a rug is made to celebrate a life event or for domestic use. Creativity dictates the pattern and the symbolism tells the story or reason the rug is being made. Complexity and craftsmanship depends on the artistry and proficiency of the weaver. The end result is a true piece of floor art. Dimensions: 5'7 x 8'7
