Moroccan Tapestry

The origin of tapestry in Morocco dates back to the night of times.  While once used as protection against the cold, it is now also considered as an integral part of Moroccan art. Moroccan rugs can be divided into two large categories, the urban rugs such as the ones from Rabat, and the rural rugs which are mainly from the Atlas Mountains and Marrakech. The art of making rugs is due the creativity of craftsmen coming from many different regions of Morocco and the multiples dynasties that succeeded one another.  Thus, every rug, even contemporary ones carry a thousand-year-old tradition. Every region in Morocco manufactures rugs with specific local characteristics, such as colors, motifs, weaving techniques and material used.
