Description

A handknotted wool pile rug from Taznakht, in the southern mountains near Ouarzazate. 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 vintage rug. Dimensions: 204 × 114 cm (approx. 6'8" × 3'9"). Weight: 5.5 kg.

Condition

Sold as a used vintage piece. The face shows even colour mellowing from its original state, most clearly visible against the brighter reverse. The pile is cut low and reasonably even across the field, with no bald areas visible on the face. The original warp fringe is long, coarse, greyed with age, matted, and uneven in places. All five borders run complete on four sides, the saffron outer edge is intact along both selvedges, and there are no holes or cuts.

Provenance

Confirmed as a Taznakht piece at acquisition. Its formal symmetrical medallion field, multiple guard borders, and layered colour system are consistent with the southern weaving zone around Ouarzazate. No named weaver or workshop is documented, so this is a regional attribution rather than a documented chain of custody. Region: Taznakht (Attributed) Tradition: Vintage

Care

Vacuum on low suction with the rotating brush off. Spot-clean with cold water and mild soap, blotting rather than rubbing, and test a corner first. Use professional wool cleaning for a full wash. Rotate every few months so wear stays even, and keep out of prolonged direct sun.
