About the Item

This vintage Moroccan rug is an 8×10 Tuareg mat from the nomadic tribe of the same name. Handwoven with reeds and leather circa 1950-1960, its natural materials enjoy warm beige-brown undertones to gold, green and red stripes and geometric patterns. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will appreciate Tuareg mats as distinct tribal works with a rich history and unique, masterful craft. This particular piece enjoys one of the best sizes one can find these in—an area rug well suited to a wider range of interiors today. The range of colors, too, is a departure from many others in the style, and they’ve aged beautifully in kind. It’s a collectible piece of primitivist folk art and nomadic culture, as well as a comfortable, durable floor covering with so many special design applications today. Condition: This mid-century Tuareg further enjoys great condition for its age and origin.

Oversized Vintage Moroccan Tuareg Mat with Geometric Patterns, from Rug & Kilim
Located in Long Island City, NY
This oversized vintage Moroccan floor covering is a 9x15 Tuareg mat from the nomadic tribe of the same name. Handwoven with reeds and leather circa 1950-1960, its natural materials enjoy warm brown, red, green and beige tones in its geometric patterns. On the Design: Connoisseurs will admire Tuareg mats as distinct works with their own rich history and unique, masterful craftsmanship. This design is also one of few in its kind to favor a minimalist approach to the primitivist Berber geometric patterns. The large size further connotes a particularly intricate work—likely made by two or more weavers with meticulous detail. It’s as much a collectible piece of folk art and nomadic culture as a comfortable, durable floor covering today. Condition: This oversized vintage Moroccan Tuareg mat...
