About the Item

This vintage rug and floor covering is a 7x8 Tuareg mat from the nomadic tribe of the same name. Handwoven with reeds and camel leather in Mauritania circa 1950-1960, its natural materials enjoy beige-brown, red, black and cream tones in its geometric patterns. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will especially appreciate 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, specifically nine distinct geometric motifs arranged in a structured grid. The central element—an elaborated cruciform in burgundy with diamond terminals—serves as the focal point, while hourglass shapes and interlocking diamonds in black and russet create balanced counterpoints in the surrounding positions. It’s as much a collectible piece of folk art and nomadic culture as a comfortable, durable floor covering today. Condition: This vintage Moroccan Tuareg mat further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
