One-of-a-kind lightly used rug, hand-knotted by Zemmour tribes west of the Middle Atlas mountains of Morocco
Dimensions: 5'5" x 11'5" (164 cm x 349 cm)
Dzamela 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:
Orange
Rug Details
One-of-a-kind gently used rug — only one in stock!
100% wool
Dimensions: 5'5" x 11'5" (164 cm x 349 cm)
Plush pile: approximately 0.8" (2 cm)
Color palette: spiced pumpkin orange, cream, puce brown
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 Originally made for personal use, these rugs took months to weave, documenting a shifting tide of events and emotions in the weaver’s life
Diagonal lines weave and intersect, forming a grid-like pattern
An eye motif indicates the power to reflect the evil eye, and thus protect the weaver
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.
