Vintage Tuareg Mat Wool Runner 3X 12

This 3×12 vintage Tuareg runner mat is handwoven with reeds in Mauritania and dates to circa 1950–1959. Woven by the nomadic Tuareg people, it is a distinctive addition to Rug & Kilim’s collection of tribal Moroccan rugs. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will especially appreciate Tuareg mats as distinct works with their own rich history and unique, masterful craftsmanship. This design is also one of few in its kind to favor a minimalist approach to the primitivist Berber geometric stripe patterns. The versatile runner size further connotes a particularly intricate work—likely made by two or more weavers with meticulous detail. It’s as much a collectible piece of folk art and nomadic culture as a comfortable, durable floor covering today. Condition: This vintage Moroccan Tuareg mat further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
