An important and ancient carpet from eastern Morocco, Morocco.
An important and ancient carpet from eastern Morocco, Morocco.
An important 18th or 19th century Beni Mtir or Beni Bou Zeggou? carpet, Morocco.
When a carpet is particularly old, it is very difficult to attribute it to a specific group or even a specific region. This is the case with this particularly old carpet. This example is similar to the so-called carpets of Eastern Morocco, such as the Beni Bou Yahi and the Beni Bou Zeggou. Some similar examples are included in Prosper Ricard's book. However, it is not impossible that this carpet belongs to another group, such as the Beni Mtir. Wear and tear, weft and warp sometimes apparent. Restorations. Bibliography: Patricia Fiske, W. Russell Pickering, Jeanette Harris, etc,"From the Far West: Carpets and Textiles of Morocco" The Textile Museum, Washington, 1980. Cf. page 87, 18th-19th century.
