This long-pile, vintage rug, is handwoven by the Amazigh women in the Souss-Massa region of Morocco. Authentic Askaoun rugs are identified by their irregular hand-knotted textures and typically have tassels only on one end.  Due to the high lanolin content in the hand-spun sheep wool, they are naturally dirt-resistant and very durable.

Material: Hand-spun sheep wool, cotton, recycled fibers

Age: ~50 years

Please note: This is a vintage item and you should expect to see evidence of wear, potentially some reparations and slight ‘imperfections’, which I believe add to the character and charm of the rug.
