Vintage Tunisian Rug 5' x 2'3"

SIZE: 5 X 2.3 FT.

ORIGIN: TUNISIA

CIRCA: 1980s

MATERIAL: PURE WOOL

This vintage Tunisian woollen rug showcases the bold, vibrant aesthetic typical of North African textile traditions. The central field is richly decorated with a symmetrical floral medallion, rendered in saturated shades of crimson red, deep teal, soft blue, golden yellow, ivory, and touches of pale green. The medallion appears almost blooming, with stylised palmettes and curling vine motifs radiating outward in balanced harmony.

The background transitions from a solid red in the centre to a rose-blush tone toward the ends, creating a subtle gradient effect that enhances the composition's depth. This colour shift is uncommon and adds to the artistic charm of the piece.

A wide border frames the central field, filled with alternating rosettes, geometric blossoms, and vine scrolls in a repeating pattern. The border palette echoes the field's colours, especially the teal and yellow, lending cohesion and vibrancy. The rug is finished with hand-knotted fringe in natural wool, complementing the handmade nature of the piece.

Woven with handspun wool, the texture is dense yet soft, providing both visual and tactile warmth. The design is clear and vivid, a hallmark of traditional Tunisian craftsmanship, and it stands out as a lively and decorative accent, ideal for bohemian, eclectic, or global-inspired interiors.
