Vintage Aït Bou Ichaouen Rug / 346 x 162 cm

This striking vintage piece from the Talsint region is a vivid testament to the artistic freedom and textural mastery of Aït Bou Ichaouen weavings. Its field is woven in muted lavender-grey and soft rose tones, forming a misty, dreamlike base that contrasts beautifully with its high-voltage accents in electric blue, deep green, burnt orange, and black.

The layout flows with an organic, loosely symmetrical rhythm, scattered with abstract Amazigh symbols and geometric figures, diamonds, stepped forms, and tribal marks, that appear to fade and reemerge like echoes across the surface. A duality of weaving techniques unfolds, areas of flatweave lend subtle texture, while raised knotted pile brings depth and vibrancy to the motifs. This interplay creates a layered tactile story, both ceremonial and expressive.

A broad flatweave band and short grouped fringes finish the piece with an artisanal touch. Woven in wool with a hint of cotton for structure, this rug is not just decorative, it’s emotive, painterly, and soulfully aged.
