Extraordinary Taznakht Rug: Multi-Color Diamond Lattice

This large, hand-woven rug is an authentic Taznakht Berber carpet from the Ait Ouaouzguite region. It is prized for its maximalist geometric pattern and its sophisticated, painterly use of color.

• Dominant Field: The background is a nuanced blend of natural grey and off-white wool, providing a rustic, textural foundation.
• Design: The entire field is covered in a dense, slightly irregular lattice of nested diamond lozenges (the ultimate Berber symbol for femininity and protection). The repetition of the pattern creates a captivating visual texture.
• Palette: The diamonds are filled and outlined with a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors: saffron yellow, bright blue, turquoise, burnt orange, crimson red, and deep black. The way these colors shift and fade into the grey background is a hallmark of high-quality Taznakht weaving, often using naturally dyed wool.
• Texture: The rug features a dense, shaggy (or thick-pile) construction, providing plush comfort underfoot, while the tightly finished yellow border frames the wildness of the pattern.
