On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will note what an exceptional find this shabby chic piece is for any period, especially considering the typically small, narrow looms of many tribal weavers. A notable presence of beige-brown, off-white and red tones underscores a play of stripes and high-low textural accents, enjoying a bold, graphic sense of drama and richness in the boho chic sensibility. Admirers of the craft will note the few touches of pile and fabric are both a playful and very personal element, embodying the particular beauty of Berber rag rugs and flatweaves that makes each so unique among works of nomadic folk art in the Atlas mountains known today.

Condition:

This vintage Moroccan Kilim further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. See less
