Description 100% handmade rug. Origin: morocco. 100% wool materials. 100% ethical approach. Unique handcrafted piece. Dimensions: 100 cm X 160 cm. Here is the story of this azilal rug… the azilal rug is a moroccan berber rug originating from the azilal region in the moroccan high atlas, a mountainous region that is difficult to access. The azilal rugs are hand-knotted and they are characterized by a cream-colored wool background, with tribal berber patterns, abstract or geometric patterns with bright colors. These patterns generally have meaning. They express the mood or the story of the weaver. Among the azilal, the weaving families have always passed on their know-how from generation to generation in the purest tradition. Living off their livestock, the azilal tribes shear the wool of their herd with scissors once the climate becomes milder in spring. This wool is worked in the traditional way according to a set of centuries-old practices and rituals. The sheep live freely in the mountains and are treated with great respect. Entirely handmade by women, on wooden looms, a rug takes several weeks to make. We have knocked on the doors of these weaving families for you to unearth this nugget for you. Each stage of the production of this carpet, from the life of the sheep, to the remuneration of the weaver, respects our ethical approach. This product is handcrafted and may have imperfections.
