Vintage Aït Bou Ichaouen Rug / 307 x 152 cm

A lush and radiant example of Aït Bou Ichaouen craftsmanship, this vintage rug embodies the poetic tension between bold geometry and dreamlike coloration, an aesthetic signature of this remote High Atlas tribe. With its rich palette and symbolic structure, the piece bridges tradition and modernism in one compelling visual story.

The base glows in shades of dusty mauve and purple-rose, casting an ethereal and romantic atmosphere. Vivid cobalt blue, soft sage green, and glowing sunset orange offer striking accents throughout the field, while black outlines carve out contrast and lend luminosity to the overall composition.

A symmetrical sequence of medallions dominates the field, many rendered in rosette or cruciform forms. These geometric abstractions are hallmarks of Amazigh symbolism, believed to offer protection, connection, or spiritual resonance. The negative spaces hum with energy, filled with small cross and diamond forms that build narrative depth and rhythmic complexity.The composition is framed by bold angular motifs rendered in crisp black and white, creating a sharp, almost architectural border that anchors the rug’s luminous center.

Woven entirely by hand, this piece is a celebration of tribal identity and visual storytelling.
