Old Rehamna Carpet, 138 X 254 Cm, Hand-knotted Wool, Work Of Berber Women, Morocco, 1920

Rehamna rug from the plains of the Rehamna, east of Marrakech. Beautiful piece measuring 138 cm wide by 254 cm long, in wool on wool.
Around 1920-1930 in collection condition In the triangle formed by Marrakech, El Jadida, and Agadir, we find the Haouz rug from Marrakech, the Gulad rug from Bousbaa, from Chichaoua or further south from Chennana, the Aït Immour rug.
This type of carpet presents a kind of wandering of the patterns in the field. Rehamna rugs inscribe the image of traced signs.
The old Rehamna are characterized by an old pink, ocher or red, and straw background, inscribed with uncertain medallions of great disorder, full of mystery, harshness and violence.
There is a decorative research, a joyful woolen pattern of magic and hidden meaning.
You can guess there many trees of life and medallions with checkerboards and staircases .....
But this disorder is only order and purity. The illiteracy and isolation of these Berber women were expressed in the silence of the very construction of carpets by an abstract tribal iconography deeply buried since the dawn of time in their collective consciousness.
These rugs tell the story of women's lives, each woman creates her rug, her rugs, which makes each piece unique and singular.
(Far from the commercial criteria of today)
These women prisoners of their conditions express themselves in their creation thanks to their imagination making works of art worthy of the greatest museums of modern art and contemporary art.
These rough, clumsy, sometimes clumsy rugs that are the Rehamna works belong to a world apart.
These fascinating works, this virtuosity is of the order of the conceptual.
This rug has a deep ocher and soft red base with straw yellow tribal patterns.
Trims and tassels are finished with natural dark brown goat hair.
