While this piece is sold out, don't hesitate to email us at hello@salamhello.com. We can work with the artisan to create a similar handcrafted piece just for you.

This vintage Amazigh rug is over 30 years old and was woven by Ghaita.

Ghaita belongs to the Ouaouzguiti Association which is made up of ten villages and has been around for eight decades.

Made of 100% wool, Ghaita carded, brushed and spun the wool by hand. She then used local plants and spices to create the vibrant hues.

In more traditional vintage rug design, the symbolism is often a wish or depiction of the artisan’s life.

Due to the age of this piece, you will find some light fraying, with that said, with proper care this piece will continue to charm for many years to come.

Vintage

Our Vintage pieces were usually made by grandmas or great aunts and then passed down through generations. Even when a family runs out of room or decides to sell an old rug, they’re bound to bring beauty to their next home.

Most vintage rugs you will find in local Moroccan markets are purchased by male brokers, who visit neighboring villages and buy up all the pieces they can in one transaction.

Our process is different, as we work directly with the women selling these heirloom rug pieces. We visit their homes and neighborhoods to see the pieces in-person and negotiate face-to-face.

One telltale way to spot vintage rugs is by their odd shapes, as they may have been made to fit into old buildings, or specific spaces generations ago.
