This majestic flatweave carpet is a masterful expression of Zemmour craftsmanship from the Middle Atlas region of Morocco. It departs from the standard horizontal banding often seen in Zemmour weavings to present a dramatic, architectural composition centered around a massive, ascending chevron or “mountain” motif. The rug is anchored by a deep, saturated burgundy and terracotta red background, a color palette deeply rooted in the traditions of the tribe, representing the earth and vitality.

The central design features concentric V-shaped bands that radiate outward, creating a powerful sense of movement and depth. These bands are intricately woven with fine geometric detailing—rows of diamonds, triangles, and sawtooth lines—in contrasting shades of saffron yellow, ivory, charcoal, and touches of sage green. The precision of the flatweave (Hanbel) technique allows for crisp definition of these symbols, which traditionally serve as protective talismans. The entire composition is framed by vertical borders containing stacked square medallions, grounding the dynamic energy of the central field.

Physically, the rug is substantial and durable, woven from high-quality wool that provides a firm, textured feel. Its flat surface makes it practical for areas that require stability, such as under a dining table or in a busy living room. The bold, graphic nature of the chevron design gives this piece a contemporary, almost Art Deco appeal, allowing it to serve as a stunning focal point in modern, bohemian, or maximalist interiors.
