Kabir
THIS RUG'S STORY:
Kabir means "old" in Darija (Moroccan Arabic), and this rug is just that - authentically old! Estimated to be from the 1950's, Moroccan rugs from the Azilal region that are 60-70 years old are very hard to come by! The design pattern of the rug changes from top to bottom - truly a unique find!
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 up to 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.
