Vintage Moroccan Soumak Kilim 4'6" x 2'9"

ORIGIN: MOROCCO

CIRCA: 1980s

MATERIAL: PURE WOOL

This is a vintage Moroccan Soumak kilim woven from pure wool, celebrated for its intricate texture and vibrant tribal motifs.

The kilim features a soft cream background richly adorned with colourful geometric symbols arranged in a loosely structured layout. These include traditional Moroccan motifs such as lozenges, arrows, and S-shapes, each rendered in bold red, blue, orange, green, black, and pink tones. The weaving style uses the Soumak technique, giving the surface a slightly raised, embroidered texture distinct from standard flatweaves.

A narrow stepped border in black encloses the central panel, adding contrast and framing the design. The outer border repeats similar motifs, creating rhythm and cohesion throughout the piece.

This textile is a striking blend of rustic elegance and artisanal mastery, showcasing the nomadic Berber influence in form and colour. It is ideal for display or functional use and carries both cultural significance and decorative charm.

Our product photography skillfully captures the naturalistic colours of our one-of-a-kind products using gentle natural light, although the colours may appear different depending on your device. Before shipping, every kilim undergoes a meticulous stretching process to ensure it arrives straight and flat. Due to its unique and handmade nature, vintage kilim may display slight variations.
