Description:
I purchased this HANDMADE Berber rug in the High Atlas Mountain village of Tinerhir in Morocco 16 years ago. Tribal or nomadic rugs are made by Berber women whose knowledge is handed down from mother to daughter.This carpet was spun from local sheep wool and woven into a high pile, typical of that cold mountain region. It clearly shows marvelous artistic freedom and boldness of design. It took years to create!It is colored with natural dyes. Yellow is made from saffron, red from henna, blue from indigo, green from wild mint and burgundy from pomegranate. Other colors are obtained by mixing dyes.Woven rugs typically invoke the traditional Berber belief in "baraka," meaning spiritual wisdom or divine power. Carpet makers also try to include symbols and images bringing protective powers. However, many non-natives value this carpet style simply as fine art. A traditional, native-made carpet like this one is becoming rare.It fits beautifully into contemporary decor and its linear geometry complements today's furniture designs. Its brilliant colors enhance and offset more neutral colors of walls and furniture; it brings spectacular life to a room. It is a conversation piece whether mounted on a wall or set on the floor.However, it is not delicate, as it is meant to be walked on, and its thick wool yarn will last for decades. This carpet is one of a kind.Excellent conditionHand-woven wool pile, wool foundation10' long x 7' wide x .75" in depthWeight = 46 lbs.Please note: the small darker blue area of the carpet is seemingly flawed, but it is not. Native villager carpets always have such "flaws," due to faulty color mixing or the artist's redo.Payable via PayPal. Thank you.
