79103 Vintage Egyptian Kilim Tapestry Rug, 02'02 x 03'04. This exquisite handwoven wool Egyptian pictorial tapestry rug is a striking representation of traditional life and pastoral scenes that resonate with cultural depth and artistic expression. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the flatweave rug showcases a variety of animals commonly found in the rural landscapes of Egypt. Depicted are camels and goats, each rendered in natural, earthy tones that speak to the organic dyes derived from the region's abundant natural resources. The inclusion of a human figure, possibly a shepherd, anchors the composition in human experience, bridging the gap between nature and civilization. The background of the tapestry is a rich, textured gray (greenish undertones), representing the fertile grounds of the Nile Valley, which has historically been the lifeblood of Egyptian agriculture and rural life. This backdrop serves as a vivid canvas that highlights the vibrant hues of the animals, lending a sense of vitality and movement to the scene. Each animal is colored distinctively, allowing their individual forms to stand out, while also harmonizing with the overall palette to create a cohesive visual narrative. This vintage Egyptian tapestry...

A striking vintage Moroccan wall sconce or sculptural wall shade, handcrafted in Marrakech circa 1980 from hand-painted parchment hide stretched and stitched over a forged iron framework. The dramatic inverted triangular form gives the piece a strong architectural presence. Warm ochre and parchment tones are enlivened by hand-painted red geometric and linear motifs inspired by traditional Moroccan Berber decorative vocabulary. The aged surface, visible handwork and dark iron framework give the sconce an appealing artisanal character that works particularly well in Mediterranean, Moorish, Spanish Colonial, Moroccan, Tribal Modern and eclectic interiors. The parchment functions beautifully as a diffuser when the shade is positioned over an existing wall-mounted light source, producing a warm, atmospheric glow while emphasizing the hand-painted decoration. The open iron detail toward the lower point adds another sculptural element to the design. Please note that this piece is a decorative wall shade only and contains no electrical components. It is intended to be installed over an appropriate existing wall light fitting, or it may simply be displayed unlit as a piece of Moroccan folk art and architectural wall decoration. Its substantial 16-inch height gives it enough visual presence to use individually, while multiple examples can create a particularly effective installation along a hallway, staircase, entry, covered loggia or large feature wall. Additional related examples are available. Because each was individually handcrafted and hand-painted, variations in the painted motifs, coloration and surface are to be expected; they are similar rather than exact matches. Handcrafted in Marrakech, Morocco, circa 1980. Dimensions: 16 in. H × 11 in. W × 9 in. D. The piece retains an attractive vintage surface with variations, irregularities and wear consistent with its age and handmade construction. Object Type: Wall Sconce / Decorative Wall Light Shade Style: Folk Art / Moorish Place of Origin: Morocco Period: Late 20th Century Date of Manufacture: circa 1980 Materials: Parchment / Hide, Iron Techniques: Hand-Painted, Hand-Crafted, Hand-Stitched Color: Parchment, Ochre, Red, Dark Brown Condition: Good vintage condition; wear consistent with age and use.
