No. 28 Zayan vintage

Infused with an irresistible charm and a lively essence, the handwoven Zayan rug from Morocco brings to life a mosaic of deep, earthy tones, featuring an array of complex Berber symbols. This rug captures the imagination and warms the heart, its palette of indigo, sunset reds, forest greens, and golden oranges creating a dynamic atmosphere that revitalizes and enriches any room. Crafted with care by the Berber tribes of the Middle Atlas, the Zayan rug is more than a piece of decor; it's a celebration of texture, color, and cultural storytelling.

Running your hands over its fabric, you'll feel the rich history and artistry of the Amazigh people. The colors woven into the Zayan rug carry layers of meaning: indigo speaks of the vast night sky, red of the earth's energy, green of nature's bounty, and orange of the day's last light. These patterns go beyond decoration; they're a visual language, narrating tales of the weavers' lives, their connection to the land, and their spiritual beliefs. Every motif on the Zayan rug, from geometric shapes to symbolic figures, tells a story of life, tradition, and the natural world, making each rug a woven archive of Amazigh heritage.

The Zayan region, associated with the Zayan rugs, refers to an area within the Middle Atlas mountains of Morocco. This region is known for its rich weaving traditions, with the Zayan tribe being one of several Amazigh (Berber) tribes renowned for their intricate textile and rug-making techniques. The Middle Atlas is a vital cultural and geographic area that contributes significantly to the diversity of Moroccan rug designs, known for their unique patterns, color schemes, and the high quality of wool used. Zayan rugs, like those from other parts of Morocco, are distinguished by their specific patterns, colors, and weaving styles that reflect the local heritage and natural landscape of the region.
