Vintage White Ground Eastern Moroccan Berber Rug

About the Item

A very interesting group of Berber weavings come from a tribe located close to the border with Algeria, in the eastern region of Morocco. The Ait Bou Ichaouen rugs from the settlements north of Talsint offer a more colourful version of traditional Moroccan patterns. Here the pattern begins with sparsely arranged, directional shield-like motifs which soon transform in the more familiar diamond pattern. The resulting honeycomb lattice arrangement is punctuated by red and brown wool, which emphasise the pattern by means of a marked contrast against the ivory background. A beautiful colour variation of a theme we often encounter on Moroccan rugs from the Middle Atlas.
