About the Item

Made with handwoven reed and camel leather in Mauritania, this 2x12 vintage Tuareg mat- runner is an exceptional new addition to Rug Kilim’s collection of rare works in this weaving tradition; the legacy of one of the most sought-after floor covering provenances among designers and collectors today. This runner is a unique, well-preserved fragment from a larger, meticulously crafted mat. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will especially appreciate Tuareg mats as distinct works with their own rich history and unique, masterful craftsmanship. This design is also one of few in its kind to favor a minimalist approach to the primitivist Berber geometric patterns, specifically tribal motifs in rich black tones with a natural sense of depth and arresting dimensionality against the more neutral, natural brown reed ground. The runner length and particular scale further connote a particularly intricate work—likely made by two or more weavers with meticulous detail. Though a fragment, it’s as much a collectible piece of folk art and nomadic culture as a comfortable, durable floor covering today. Condition: This vintage Moroccan Tuareg mat runner further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
