Description

Attributed to Taznakht in the Siroua mountains of Ouarzazate Province, this is the largest piece I have listed: a room-size rug measuring 8'4" × 4'11" and weighing 16.1 lbs. Selected for texture, scale, and exact-piece character, with final color confirmed by video before payment is captured.

Materials

Wool from Taznakht, Morocco.

Construction

Handwoven as a mixed technique rug. Dimensions: 254 × 150 cm (approx. 8'0" × 4'11"). Weight: 7.3 kg.

Condition

Sound throughout, with no holes, thin areas, stains or repairs. The pile remains at full height across all compartments and dividing bars, with no crushing. Both long selvedges are firm. The plied fringe is complete, with no losses. Loose embroidery tails are present on both faces where motifs were worked and finished; these are inherent to the technique and are not damage.

Provenance

The rug was bought and recorded as Taznakht at acquisition, and the acquisition tag names the region. Its construction is consistent with documented practice in the Taznakht area, where flatweave, knotted pile and mixed-technique work are all recorded. It is listed as Attributed because the individual weaver is not named. Region: Taznakht (Attributed) Tradition: Mixed Technique

Care

Shake out or vacuum using low suction without a beater bar. Keep the vacuum nozzle away from the raised pile compartments and embroidered areas. Spot-clean with cold water and mild soap. Use a professional rug cleaner for a full wash. Rotate periodically for even wear and keep out of prolonged direct sunlight.
