1970's Taznakht Moroccan Carpet, Berber Tribes of Morocco

About the Item

74570 Vintage Taznakht Moroccan Rug, 03’08 x 06’05. Bathed in the golden glow of North Africa’s sunlit earth, this hand-knotted wool vintage Taznakht Moroccan rug is a vibrant testament to the enduring spirit of the Berber tribes. Woven with devotion in the High Atlas Mountains, its radiant field evokes the warmth of desert sands at dusk, while the bold crimson medallions pulse with the rhythm of tribal life. The cascading diamonds, alive with intricate hooks and tendrils, seem to mirror the rugged peaks and valleys of the weaver’s homeland, each knot a prayer, each motif a whisper of ancestral lore. This woven treasure sings with a palette drawn from the soul of Morocco — rich hues of marigold and pomegranate red, softened by touches of pale green and ivory, echoing the natural dyes coaxed from native plants. The design dances within a border of checkerboard squares (partridge eyes, representing beauty and women, each meticulously placed like ancient tiles in a sacred zellij, enclosing the composition with balance and harmony. The stepped edges of the central motifs, outlined with serrated edges, speak of protection and resilience, safeguarding the stories embedded in wool. Every symbol within this Taznakht rug carries the breath of generations — the V-shaped Elibelinde motifs, poised at the threshold of the border, honor the essence of womanhood and fertility, while the abstract florals bloom in silent homage to the wild beauty of the Atlas landscape. These tribal emblems, passed from mother to daughter, are woven not only for adornment but as a living language of memory, faith, and belonging, binding the present to the echoes of the past. A true relic of Berber artistry, this Taznakht rug is more than a textile; it is a guardian of tradition, a celebration of color and form that transcends time. Its luminous surface invites both the eye and the soul to wander, to dream, and to dwell in the timeless embrace of a culture where every thread holds the weight of heritage and the promise of enduring beauty. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Berber Tribes of Morocco. Taznakht. Measures: 03'08 x 06'05. Date: 1970's. Late 20th Century.
