Vintage North African Berber Tribal Rug Ait Khozema from Morocco

About the Item

Beautiful hand knotted rug from North Africa. This great vintage piece was made by women of the Berber Ait Khozema tribe in Morocco. These people are at home in the Atlas Mountains, living at an altitude of about 5000-6000 ft. The weather is very cold in winter and these rugs are used for Isolation to the cold floor when sitting and sleeping. Since these rugs are very soft they can also be used as blanket. The design reminds a lot of cuacasian Kazak or Turkish Bergama rugs. At the beginning of the last Century, many traders from Turkey brought rugs to Morocco and these designs became part of the Moroccan rug style. Influence of North African Rugs on European Modern Art. These abstract designs had a great influence on European Modern Art. An initial date was a travel to Tunis in the year 1914. Paul Klee, August Macke and Louis Moilliet visited Tunesia and their Artworks after that trip showed many new inspirations in abstract design. We recommend a book published in 2013 titled "Marokkanische Teppiche und die Kunst der Moderne" if you are interested in learning about the interaction of Moroccan / North African Art and Modern Art. The Orient had a lasting fascination for painters in Europe. The paintings "View of Tangier" and "Moroccan Landscape" by Eugène Delacroix date from the 19th century. Henri Matisse and Wassily Kandinsky were other painters who prepared the terrain for Paul Klee's trips to Tunis (1914) and Egypt (1928).
