This unique Tunisian rug, dating from the 1960s, is handwoven from wool on a cotton warp, measuring 85 × 150 cm including fringes. Its construction features a tightly packed, medium-length pile approximately 10 mm thick, with a weaving density of about 160,000 knots per square meter. The color composition is bold and harmonious: a saturated red central field with a jagged geometric medallion is surrounded by a wide cobalt band, while stylized floral motifs in magenta and ivory add rhythm to the blue field. Multiple intricate borders frame the piece—a green zigzag, a broad cream band with geometric rosettes in red and brown, and a prominent cobalt blue edge, all capped by a slim magenta outline. Distinctive white twisted fringes accentuate the short ends. The rug is in very good condition, exhibiting only minor irregularities in the weave and a gentle patina consistent with artisanal making and light, authentic use.The form and pigment of this rug carry echoes of the mid-20th-century Maghrebi tradition. The intensity of the red and the clarity of the geometric figures call to mind Tunisian craft motifs—woven testaments to the cadence of desert living and the meditative process of hand-knotting.
