This vintage rug and floor covering is a 2x6 Tuareg runner mat from the nomadic tribe of the same name. Handwoven with reeds in Mauritania circa 1950-1960, it is an exciting new addition to our tribal Moroccan rugs.
On the Design:
Admirers of the craft will especially appreciate Tuareg mats as distinct works with their own rich history and unique, masterful craftsmanship. This design is also one of few in its kind to favor a minimalist approach to the primitivist Berber geometric stripe patterns. The versatile runner size further connotes a particularly intricate work—likely made by two or more weavers with meticulous detail. It’s as much a collectible piece of folk art and nomadic culture as a comfortable, durable floor covering today.
Condition:
This vintage Moroccan Tuareg mat further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
