Grand ancient Berber rug – Kilim Hanbel Zemmour (Middle Atlas, Morocco) An authentic and rare piece, this handwoven Berber rug belongs to the Kilim Hanbel tradition of the Zemmour / Aït Bou Sbaa tribes in the Middle Atlas of Morocco. Made several decades ago for domestic use, it stands out for: • Its multicoloured horizontal bands in vibrant shades (madder reds, henna oranges, deep blacks, soft greens) obtained from natural dyes. • Its symbolic geometric patterns (protective diamonds, chevrons, tribal shapes) rich in meaning within Berber culture. • A dense and fine flat weave, a guarantee of durability and artisanal craftsmanship. Ancient rugs of this type are now rarer, especially in this state of preservation and large format, making it both a collector's item and a strong decorative element. Perfect as a floor rug, wall hanging, or to dress a living space with character and warmth. 📍 Origin: Middle Atlas, Morocco. ⚒️ Technique: Kilim Hanbel, wool and cotton, natural dyes.
