Keyseri in art silk 173x117 cm circa 1970s

'‘A carpet is a picture of God. That is the essential fact, fundamental to the people who produced the carpets,and fundamental to any proper understanding of these carpets (p.21). (-) Christopher Alexander A Foreshadowing of 21st Century Art

This is a vintage Berber rug from the Middle Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Such carpets were never intended to appear on the commercial market; they were intended to be used in homes by Berber families. Only natural dyes were used and wool sourced locally and their creation. Over the years, more than half a century later, the intricate design remained preserved only in part creating an nearly ghostly effect (half a rug; half a ghost). This rug is symbolic of the condition of the nomadic cultures in North Africa; almost gone for ever
