Vintage Aït Bou Ichaouen Rug / 390 x 195 cm

A visually striking vintage rug from the Aït Bou Ichaouen tribe, this piece radiates intensity and symbolic depth through its rich, jewel-toned palette. Deep hues of magenta, plum and crimson red form the foundation, while turquoise, aqua, and burnt orange provide luminous accents in the form of nested diamonds and zigzag chevrons, motifs that speak to protection, fertility, and the journey of life.

A subtle vertical symmetry anchors the composition, guiding the eye toward a dynamic center where color and form intensify, then softly diffuse outward. The repetition of motifs in shifting tones gives this rug a mesmerizing rhythm, almost like a pulse woven into wool.

Crafted with a thick, high pile, characteristic of the colder mountainous areas of the Talstint region, this rug offers both visual warmth and tactile comfort. The use of hand-dyed wool, with a mix of natural and synthetic pigments, adds nuanced chromatic layering and a beautiful patina.

Framed with broad flatweave bands and finished with short knotted tassels, this is a piece that balances tribal tradition with bold artistic expression. A powerful textile for collectors or interiors that embrace soulful, statement design.
