Broad ivory diamonds rise between narrow flatwoven channels in this 240 × 140 cm Marmoucha wool rug. Dark threads appear within the recessed lines, giving definition to the open lattice and emphasizing the contrast between the two surfaces.

Provenance & Craft

Presented by Atelier des Atlas, this wool rug belongs to the Marmoucha weaving tradition of Morocco’s Middle Atlas. Its mixed construction combines raised pile with flatwoven passages. Narrow end bands carry dark linear details, while cream knotted fringe finishes both short ends.

Design Vocabulary

Intersecting diagonals divide the ivory field into large, slightly irregular diamonds. The restrained palette draws attention to the woven structure, with dark accents continuing from the channels into the patterned end bands.
