About the Item

20351 Vintage Taznakht Moroccan Kilim Rug, 07'01 x 10'01. A vintage Taznakht rug, originating from the Taznakht region in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, is renowned for its vibrant colors, intricate geometric patterns, and cultural significance. Crafted by Berber women using traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations, these rugs represent a testament to their heritage and artistry. The technique of "high and low pile" involves varying heights of the rug's pile, creating a textured and three-dimensional effect that enhances its aesthetic appeal. This technique not only adds depth and visual interest but also highlights specific design elements, reflecting the skilled craftsmanship of the weavers. Each Taznakht rug is a unique handmade masterpiece, with variations in pile height contributing to its character and individuality. In this vintage Taznakht Moroccan kilim rug, the fusion of Midcentury Modern style with tribal allure creates a captivating visual composition. Clean lines characteristic of Midcentury design intersect with the enchanting motifs of tribal tradition, resulting in a unique aesthetic blend. The rug's composition features a compartmental checkerboard pattern, with navy blue, red, green, and yellow squares serving as the backdrop for a myriad of ambiguous tribal motifs. At the heart of the design, a rectangular band adorned with spiked concentric lozenges commands attention, drawing the eye to its intricate details and geometric precision. Central to the rug's allure are the diagonal rows of small cubes, meticulously arranged to form V-shaped Chevron motifs that add a sense of movement and dynamism to the composition. As the eye navigates the rug's surface, additional cubes and rectangles emerge, further enriching the design with layers of depth and visual intrigue. Each motif and element within the rug's intricate pattern contributes to its overall narrative, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the rich culture of Berber heritage and artistic expression. Crafted with precision and imbued with symbolism, this vintage Taznakht Moroccan kilim rug serves as a testament to the skill and creativity of its Berber artisans. Beyond its decorative appeal, the Taznakht kilim rug stands as a tangible link to centuries of tradition and craftsmanship, showcasing the enduring legacy of Moroccan weaving techniques. With its harmonious blend of Midcentury Modern aesthetics and tribal motifs, this woven wonder offers a captivating glimpse into the intersection of design influences, inviting admiration and appreciation for its timeless beauty and cultural significance. Rendered in variegated shades of red, blue, yellow, green, black, brown, and beige with other accent colors. It is a two-layer souf rug. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Handwoven wool. Made in Morocco.
