About the Item

A striking vintage Moroccan Aït Bou Ichaouen featuring an overall pattern of female fertility motifs. The forms are arranged into neatly organized bands, creating repeated vertical chains. The ground color shifts, with hues of saturated magenta and fire red lending depth and contrast throughout. Note the linear weighty selvages framing the piece. All wool with a lustrous patina, c. 1960’s. It is generously scaled for everyday use. The carpets of this tribe are also known as Talsint, the most remote of the Berber tribes, and they settled between the High Altas Range and close to the edge of the Sahara. This tribe and their work were undiscovered by the outside world until the mid 1990's. Bearing this in mind, Talsint carpets are legendary for their vibrant colors and exotic patterns, perhaps due to the lack of an outside influence or the need for color in their monochromatic world. Many of their motifs and techniques have yet to be found elsewhere in Morocco...these archaic designs reflect an older tradition of weaving history dating back thousands of years in Northern Africa. All of our inventory is hand selected in Morocco. We curate the best possible selection of vintage Berber carpets available. Our entire collection of carpets and textiles is located in Brooklyn, New York. All of our pieces are professionally cleaned and restored prior to coming to market. We ship anywhere in the world within two weeks.
