A beautiful example of Moroccan tribal weaving, handwoven with a dense looped pile in soft, muted tones of rose, terracotta, grey, and faded black. The design features a repeating diamond lattice pattern, a symbol of protection and fertility in Berber culture, adding both rhythm and meaning to the textile.

Likely woven in the Mid Atlas region during the mid-20th century, rugs of this type were traditionally crafted by women for use within the home—serving as bedding, floor coverings, or wall hangings to insulate against the mountain cold. Each rug was unique, expressing the identity of the weaver and her community.

 

  • Origin: Morocco, Atlas Mountains
  • Age: Circa 1940–1960
  • Dimensions: 2.9 × 1.9 m
  • Construction: Handwoven wool, looped pile technique
  • Design: Diamond lattice with subtle geometric infill motifs
