Vintage Moroccan Aït Bou Ichaouen Carpet TS12
A strikingly modern vintage Aït Bou Ichaouen (Talsint) carpet exhibiting a very creative interpretation of vertical female lozenge chains and male zig zag (snake) motifs. Horizontal bands create three distinct segments within the field, and are framed by substantial side borders. Knotted in a time faded purple, magenta, and charcoal grey, with small bits of red punctuating one end. All wool pile on a cotton warp.
