Vintage Azilal Rug

THIS BEAUTIFUL RUG is a Vintage Azilal. Its name comes from the town of Azilal in the Middle Atlas in the "Maghreb" (Kingdom of Morocco). The weavers of Azilal have been making these rugs by hand for thousands of years in rudimentary living conditions, being in rural areas. They make them on the "mansej" (vertical looms) with tools such as the wool packing comb, the carder and the distaff. This rug is unique and entirely handmade. Piece found in the medina of Marrakech. Measurements: 2.12 m X 1.22 m.
