This stunning rug is started it's life some time ago, in the middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco. It was handwoven by a women in the Berber tribal group of "Zaine". This tribe lives in one of the higher parts of the Middle Atlas mountain range and so their rugs are thick and shaggy and thus reflect the cold conditions which prevail. Designs are often based on the diamond motif, which is a little difficult to see on the shaggy side of this rug, but turn it over on the flat woven side and its very obvious. Because this rug is old it comes with it's imperfections, such as the uneven tassles at the  end of the rug.  This is also why the colour can vary between the pile side and the flat woven side as it has faded over time. The colour palette on the pile side is soft and subtle which is reflective of this. Turn it onto the reverse flat weave side and the colours are darker and closer to the original palette. To get a real sense of the rug they are best viewed in person. Feel free to contact us to arrange a viewing in store or online.
