A single great lozenge, drawn in nested lines of burnt orange and deep forest green, laid across a ground of madder red. Inside it and around it the weaver has scattered eight-point stars, stepped diamonds and small crossed motifs — dozens of them, none quite matching, each one a symbol carried down through generations of Berber weaving.

What sets this rug apart is the pile. It is low and tightly worked, which is the only way geometry this fine can hold its line. Where a shag rug blurs, this one stays sharp — you can read every point of every star.

Down each side runs a chain of linked motifs in green and orange, framing the field like a margin note. At the base, the original fringe survives, faded now to a soft rose-cream.

We buy rugs like this because we would rather sell one honest, irregular, human-made piece than a hundred flawless machine copies. It was hand-knotted in Morocco decades ago, it has already lived a life, and there is not another one anywhere.

Details

  • Rug Number: IC-2448
  • Size: 3'8" x 6'0" (1.12m x 1.83m)
  • Construction: Hand-knotted on a traditional loom in Morocco — no machine work at any stage
  • Style: Vintage Moroccan rug, Taznakht family — central lozenge with dense geometric fill
  • Colours: Madder red, burnt orange, forest green, olive brown, cream
  • Pile: Low and tightly woven
  • Fringe: Original fringe at one end, softened with age
  • Authenticity: A genuine one-of-a-kind vintage piece. Irregularity in the motifs, variation in the red ground and gentle wear are inherent to a hand-woven rug of this age — they are the evidence it is real
  • Availability: One of one. Once this rug sells, it cannot be reordered or reproduced
  • Care: Professionally washed before dispatch and ready to use on arrival

Where it works

At 3'8" x 6'0" this is an accent-size rug, and the low pile makes it more versatile than most vintage pieces of this age.

  • Entryway: Low enough to clear a swinging door — the detail rewards a close look on the way in
  • Bedside: Runs the length of one side of a queen bed
  • Kitchen: Sits comfortably in front of a sink or island; the tight weave handles traffic
  • Home office: One of the few vintage rugs that works under a rolling desk chair
  • Reading corner: Grounds a single armchair and lamp
  • Layering: Ideal as a top layer over jute or sisal, where a shag piece would sit too proud

Palette notes: Madder red with orange and forest green is a warm, grounded combination. It sits naturally with terracotta, unglazed clay, dark wood and aged brass, and provides a strong counterpoint in a room of cream and pale plaster.

Questions about this piece
