This vintage Taznakht Moroccan rug echoes the enchanting dance between worlds, celebrating the beauty born from the fusion of unique traditions—a celebration of the intricate and timeless craftsmanship that defines Berber Tribe heritage.

With its bold hues and beguiling beauty, this hand-knotted wool vintage Berber Moroccan rug is a vibrant cultural artifact of the 1960s beautifully highlighting tribal design elements, geometric form, and vibrant colors.
