Vintage Moroccan Azilal Berber Rug in Natural Wool and Blue Cotton, 1975

The Berber rugs of Azilal origin come from the High Atlas area and are famous for the white background and the softness of the wool, associated with the use of cotton and other fibers to define the designs.
These very often, in addition to following the symbolism of the region, are the result of the artistic inspiration of the woman who created them. For this reason, each rug can be considered a unique and non-reproducible art object.
The materials of Azilal Berber rugs are always undyed wool, with a natural colored background and dark brown or natural black lines. The dimensions on average are slightly smaller than those typical of Beni Ourain carpets.
Berber rug or ethnic carpet, handmade in quality wool. The Azilal rug is often used in interior design not only as a piece of furniture but as a furnishing accessory in apartments, shops and offices because it offers artisanal quality giving its unique character and its ethno-chic personality to the surrounding environment.
