Ahmar
THIS RUG'S STORY:
Ahmar is a special find. Made by the Rhamna tribe, this beauty is about 60 years old! I'm loving this rug so much because the Rhamna tribe actually does not weave rugs anymore. So you are getting what will someday soon be extinct! Ahmar, meaning red in Arabic, was named for its bright red color and also features accents of orange and black. Hand selected in Morocco, this rug is a beautiful piece of art and history.
ABOUT MOROCCAN RUGS:
Each vintage Moroccan rug is hand woven and knotted by Berber women of the tribal region specified. This level of craftsmanship can take weeks or months to complete a single rug. Weaving techniques have been passed down through the generations. The patterns, designs, and colors in each rug vary with each rug, weaver, and tribe – so each piece is truly a unique work of art and 2 pieces will never be the same. Often these rugs have been handed down through the families who created them, and have been uncovered from the mountain and rural areas of Morocco.
