One-of-a-kind lightly used rug, hand-knotted by Zemmour tribes west of the Middle Atlas mountains of Morocco
Dimensions: 4'0" x 6'9" (122 cm x 205 cm)
Apostol has been professionally cleaned; age-related wear and natural inconsistencies are inherent in these unique, handcrafted vintage rugs
Rug Type:
Hand-knotted Rugs
Sturdy pile rugs meticulously woven by hand, with individually hand-tied knots, so no two are exactly alike
Age:
Lightly Used
Typically between 5-20 years old
Main Color:
Pink
Rug Details
One-of-a-kind gently used rug — only one in stock!
100% wool
Dimensions: 4'0" x 6'9" (122 cm x 205 cm)
Plush pile: approximately 0.8" (2 cm)
Color palette: dusty rose pink, maroon, sandstone
These rugs are prized for their expressive design and construction. Their freeform edges meander and wiggle, unbound by constrictions of mass production
Curator's Notes
Motifs
Moroccan rugs don’t come with a key. As with any painting or poem, their motifs have many subjective interpretations. Originally made for personal use, these rugs took months to weave, documenting a shifting tide of events and emotions in the weaver’s life
Artisanal and tribal, geometric designs feature angular edges and simple shapes—like diamonds, squares, lattices, and stylized animals
Abrash adds visual depth and texture in its variation in color and tone
Region of Origin
A confederation of tribes whose territory sat between Rabat and Meknès, the Zemmour wove piled rugs which tended to be smaller than most Middle Atlas rugs. These pieces often combine vertical and horiziontal rows of motifs into a chessboard design, or feature diamond and triangular arrangements. Red is frequently used for the ground or the selvedge.
Material Details
Wool, a staple in Moroccan rug design, was considered almost sacred to the Amazigh (Berber) people, whose nomadic lifestyle included sheep and goat herding. In addition to being available, wool is durable, long-lasting, and soft—so it’s super comfy to walk and relax on. In this piece, the wool pile is knotted onto a wool foundation, adding body and helping it hug the floor.
