About the Item
Handmade in the 1980s by nomadic Tuareg artisans in Mauritania, this vintage mat is an authentic testament to the art of the desert. The skillful interweaving of natural reed and leather strips creates an elegant and understated geometric pattern designed to decorate and protect the interior floor of leather tents in Saharan camps.
Originally used as a functional and ceremonial element, the mat also represented a sign of familial and cultural identity. Its rhythmic lines and harmonious proportions, combined with the warm natural color palette, make it a cult object today for fans of organic design and minimalist spaces.
In good condition, it has slight marks consistent with age and use, confirming its genuineness and lived-in character.
Sourced directly from Afolki during an expedition to the Mauritanian Sahara, this mat is a rare original, perfect for adding warmth and authenticity to contemporary interiors.
A timeless piece for collectors and connoisseurs of desert heritage.
