About the Item

This vintage runner rug and floor covering is a 3x12 Tuareg mat from the nomadic tribe of the same name. Handwoven with reeds and camel leather in Mauritania circa 1950-1960, its natural materials enjoy beige-brown, black and cream tones in its geometric striped patterns. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will especially appreciate Tuareg runner 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 stripe patterns in beige-brown, black and cream tones. The versatile size further connotes a particularly intricate work—likely made by two or more weavers with meticulous detail. 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 runner mat further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
