This vintage rug is handwoven in Morocco by Berber woman from the Marmoucha tribe.
It is handwoven with a network of thick double diamonds, which is typical for the Marmoucha area. However, it has accents of colour which is less used by the Marmoucha tribe and more in line with Azilal rugs. The weaver has incorporated two traditions into one rug, possibly by being born in one tribe and being married into another tribe.
The rug is handwoven in the 1970s with 100% natural wool and a low short pile height. This sort of pile height is also more typical for the Azilal tribe from the High Atlas Mountains. Marmoucha rugs are usually woven with ticker piles as this is in the Middle Atlas Mountains and a much colder area, requiring rugs with thicker piles to protect against a much colder climate. See our full range of rugs.
This vintage Moroccan Marmoucha rug has a good large size of 180x280cm and is in good condition.
