Vintage Mauritanian Rug - 119 x 98 cm

Vintage Tuareg rug|Handmade in Mauritania, made of reed stalks, adorned with colorful diamond patterns. This charming vintage Tuareg rug, handcrafted in Mauritania, is made of fine reed stalks in straw and honey tones, assembled with tight threads that create a delicately ribbed surface. Four small diamond patterns—formed by tiny elements sewn in shades of teal, mustard, and pink—dot the surface, accompanied by short dotted lines in the same palette. Vertical bands of dyed cords (teal, mustard, burgundy, and pink) run the entire length of the rug; a row of small sewn triangles borders the top and bottom ends, while dark leather strips highlight the sides. Its compact dimensions and soft, patinated colors give it a light presence, making it easy to integrate into any interior. Handmade using techniques passed down through generations by Saharan weavers, these rugs traditionally served as durable and nomadic floor coverings in the desert, valued for their lightness and ease of rolling and transporting. The patina of this piece—visible in the flexibility of the reeds, the slightly faded hue of the cords, and the wear of the leather—testifies to prolonged use, a true signature of an authentic vintage item. With its natural reed base, colorful diamonds, and finely ribbed texture, this small Tuareg rug is a unique and versatile piece, ideal for interiors that prioritize natural materials, subtle shades, and authentic craftsmanship. Authentic craftsmanship, handmade. Each rug is entirely handmade in Mauritania, using traditional methods: the reeds, threads, cords, and leather elements are assembled manually.
