This tribal vintage Algerian Berber kilim is a stunning handwoven textile that embodies the artistry and symbolism of North African tribal weaving traditions. Crafted in wool, it features alternating horizontal bands of intricate motifs, with bold red panels filled with diamond and cross patterns, contrasted by ivory sections adorned with finely detailed tribal symbols in shades of green, yellow, black, and orange.
The design carries strong cultural significance, with many of the geometric motifs symbolising protection, fertility, and harmony within the Berber tradition. The combination of vivid reds and earthy tones against a cream ground creates a striking visual balance, while the detailed ornamentation reflects the skill of the artisan.
Flat-woven for durability, this kilim is lightweight yet strong, making it ideal for use as a hallway runner, floor covering, or wall hanging. Its tribal authenticity and vibrant aesthetic make it not only a functional textile but also a cultural statement piece that directly links to Algeria’s rich Berber heritage.
Authentic vintage and antique Algerian kilims are handwoven with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.
Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours. Due to the handmade and preloved nature of these rugs, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.
Our kilims are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. Additionally, we recommend using a rug pad with a grippy back to keep your kilim in place and to smooth out any wrinkles that may have occurred during shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your kilim from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your kilim rug.
Our kilims are professionally cleaned.
