Moussem
Azilal Rug No. M0012
Regular price£535.00
From the mountainous region of Azilal in Morocco, this rug features a soft natural cream background with sage, blue and mustard accents. Its zig-zag pattern is reminiscent of the High Atlas mountains standing tall between plains of green land and blue oases.
Moroccan rugs are collectable canvases, originally made by hand by Amazigh women over the course of months, sometimes years. Originally woven to protect families from the harsh mountain winters and passed down through generations. Each piece is unique with colours and patterns that are emblematic of the tribe that it is from, and symbolises the identity of the woman who made it.
Each of our rugs has a story that started long before its arrival to Moussem and may show imperfections, crooked lines and asymmetrical compositions that are both geometric and soulful. Some older rugs may show signs of wear, repairs or fading, these imperfections are signs of authenticity and character, not flaws.
