1960's Egyptian Flatweave Carpet with Modern Style
By Ramses Wissa Wassef Workshop
Located in Dallas, TX
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.

Vintage Moroccan Boucherouite Tapestry Rug in Ultra-Modern Abstract Design
Located in Barrington, IL
This striking vintage Moroccan Boucherouite tapestry rug, hand-crafted circa mid-20th century, is a vibrant celebration of artistic expression and cultural heritage. Woven from a mix of recycled textiles, this one-of-a-kind piece features a bold, ultra-modern geometric composition in brilliant shades of red, pink, blue, green, purple, yellow, and earthy browns. The abstract design evokes the spirit of mid-century modern art, drawing visual parallels to the works of Josef Albers and Paul Klee, as well as the storied textile traditions of the Gee’s Bend quilts from Alabama.
With its dynamic asymmetry, saturated palette, and raw textile beauty, this rug functions equally well as a decorative wall tapestry or as a centerpiece in a contemporary interior. Ideal for eclectic, bohemian, or art-forward spaces, it exemplifies the spontaneous creativity and rich folk artistry of Morocco’s Berber weaving traditions.
Dimensions: 5’ 8” x 7’ 2”
Date of Manufacture: 3rd Quarter 20th century
Place of Origin: Morocco

Vintage Moroccan Blue Kilim Rug with Geometric Border and Two Diamond Lozenges
Located in Morristown, NJ
Antique early 20th century Moroccan Kilim rug, with two central diamond medallions,
made in simple flat-woven or tapestry technique, in which the pattern is produced by horizontal wefts that cover the vertical warps. The ground is a denim blue color with browns, greens, beiges, pinks and blues woven into the border decoration and diamond medallions.
The desire for the ‘exotic’ rug family in Western culture played no small part in the entrance of Moroccan style to the world stage and the gradual western influence on the style we see today. Given their thinner, supple structure, Kilim rugs are usable not only as decorative floor covering, but also as wall hangings and on furniture or bed coverlets...
