About the Item

African Tuareg Mats ​ Did You Know That Tuareg Mats Are Not From Morocco? That's right. Contrary to popular belief Tuareg rugs are not from Morocco. They are handcrafted by the Tuareg people, a nomadic Berber ethnic group that originates from sub-Saharan Mauritania in a vast area stretching from far southwestern Libya to southern Algeria, Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso. People tend to mistake them for Moroccan rugs because Marrakech is the main city from where they are exported for global trade. Woven with reeds and bound by leather, Tuareg rugs were originally crafted to act as flooring or roofing for their tents. Designer’s prize Tuareg rugs for their vintage charm and tribal motifs and have creatively incorporated them into living and dining rooms instilling a touch of natural beauty. These weavings' sturdiness also makes them well-suited for outdoor patios and vacation homes. If you're feeling inspired, here are several Tuaregs we have in stock! ​

Oversized Vintage Moroccan Tuareg Mat with Geometric Patterns, from Rug & Kilim

Oversized Vintage Moroccan Tuareg Mat with Geometric Patterns, from Rug & Kilim

Located in Long Island City, NY

This oversized vintage Moroccan floor covering is a 11x16 Tuareg mat from the nomadic tribe of the same name. Handwoven with reeds and leather circa 1950-1960, its natural materials enjoy warm brown and beige tones in its geometric patterns. On the Design: Connoisseurs will admire Tuareg mats as distinct works with their own rich history and unique, masterful craftsmanship.
