This vintage Taznakht Moroccan rug features two linked elongated medallions in mustard gold and ivory against a muted sage-green field. Dark geometric outlines give the design definition, balancing the warm medallions with the softer surrounding color.
Each large medallion contains a sage-colored center with two smaller golden diamonds. Stepped outlines, angular forms and fine dark ornament decorate these central sections. Ivory bands surround the golden interiors, while dark sawtooth edges emphasize the medallions’ distinctive silhouettes.
Small geometric ornaments and branching forms fill the surrounding sage field. The two main medallions meet at a narrow central point, creating a connected composition that follows the length of the rug.
Layered borders frame the design with repeating golden motifs, narrow dark guard bands and a wider ivory band containing angular ornament. Ochre binding completes the edges, with golden fringe at one end.
Taznakht, in Morocco’s Ouarzazate province, is known for its Amazigh weaving heritage. The region’s handmade rugs are celebrated for expressive colors, geometric designs and intricate ornament.
Hand-knotted and measuring 5 ft 2 in × 10 ft, this vintage Taznakht Moroccan rug brings warmth and pattern to a long seating area, bedroom or spacious hallway. Its sage and gold palette pairs well with natural wood, cream upholstery and simple furnishings that allow the medallions to stand out.

Care Instructions
Vacuum gently without a rotating brush, avoiding the fringe. Blot spills promptly with a clean, dry cloth. Consult a professional rug cleaner for deeper cleaning. A suitable rug pad is recommended.
Colors may vary slightly depending on lighting and screen settings.
1. Picking the Right Rug
Material Matters: Wool offers durability and natural stain resistance. Silk adds sheen and fineness. If your space gets a lot of foot traffic, go for harder-wearing weaves.
Size & Scale: Bigger is better — a rug that’s too small makes a room look disjointed. Let your furniture anchor the edges.
Pile & Weave: Flat-weave rugs lie low and are easier to clean; longer pile gives softness and depth but needs more upkeep.
2. Underlay & Placement
Place a good pad underneath: it prevents slipping, insulates sound, and extends rug life.
Rotate your rug every few months to even out wear and sun-fading.
3. Cleaning & Maintenance
- Vacuum regularly (without beater brush on delicate fibers).
- Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth; avoid rubbing.
- For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent or get professional care.
- Avoid placing rugs in direct, harsh sunlight — UV will fade colors over time.
4. What to Expect Over Time
Natural fibers will mellow slightly with age — minor shedding is normal in the first few months.
Perfect symmetry and exact color match to digital images can vary; your rug is handmade, expect uniqueness.
