This vintage Taznakht Moroccan rug features a six-panel composition in contrasting shades of red, teal blue, ivory and charcoal. Ochre accents outline the motifs and connect the different sections, giving the design warmth and definition.
The panels are arranged in two columns, with four smaller panels at the ends and two elongated panels through the middle. The upper and lower sections repeat stepped geometric medallions, each containing a nested diamond center. Dark charcoal motifs contrast with the red panels, while ivory motifs stand out against the teal-blue sections.
In the two central panels, elongated ivory and charcoal hourglass forms surround detailed diamond medallions. Their angular outlines echo the stepped shapes in the surrounding panels, creating continuity throughout the composition.
Dark divider bands marked with small ivory and ochre squares separate the six sections. A repeating red, teal and ivory zigzag border frames the rug, while ochre end bands and ivory fringe complete both ends.
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 1 in × 8 ft 7 in, this vintage Taznakht Moroccan rug brings color and pattern to a living room, bedroom or study. Pair it with natural wood and neutral upholstery to let its contrasting panels become the focal point.

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.
