This luxurious pile rug is a prime example of Taznakht weaving, originating from the Siroua region of the High Atlas mountains. Taznakht rugs are celebrated for their refinement, high knot count, and vibrant use of color, often referred to as the “embroidery” of Berber rugs. This piece features a deep, saturated crimson red field that commands attention, providing a dramatic backdrop for the central artistry.

At the heart of the composition lies an intricate, diamond-shaped medallion, woven in contrasting shades of ivory, cyan blue, and saffron yellow. This central motif is surrounded by a plain open field, allowing the medallion to float with elegant prominence. The rug is framed by elaborate multiple borders; the main band features a repeating geometric floral pattern on a cream background, flanked by serrated “sawtooth” guard stripes in electric blue and orange. The precision of the hand-knotting creates a crisp, high-definition design.

Hand-knotted from 100% natural wool, the rug offers a dense, velvety pile that feels substantial and soft underfoot. The richness of the red dye and the complexity of the borders give it a regal, formal quality. It is a timeless piece that brings sophisticated warmth to a living room, study, or master bedroom, bridging the gap between tribal authenticity and classical elegance.
