Royal Scepter
Vintage Zemmour
6’x9’
Royal Scepter // A very regal vintage rug from the Zemmour tribe. These rugs often feel fancier than your typical Moroccan rug to me; they’re usually made with high quality, silky wool that is very neatly woven in tight, low pile. They often have a more ornate or intricate pattern and motifs, more akin to a Persian or oriental style rug. The rust color on this piece paired with cream and soft turquoise accents is beautiful . Look closely and you can see symbols from the weaver’s daily life, including female figures and camels!

Vintage rugs have been sourced throughout Morocco. Each is hand woven by local Amazigh (Berber) women, generally in rural areas of Morocco, with weaving techniques passed down through generations, from mother to daughter. Each Amazigh tribe uses different techniques in their weaving or knotting, use of color, and use of symbolism or design, which is modified further by each individual. Vintage rugs typically use natural wool and natural colors developed from plant and vegetable dyes.
Because of the handmade nature and age of these rugs, each has lived a previous life and show signs of normal wear, which may include fading or discoloration, repairs, or other imperfections. These are normal and add to the character of the piece.
