Bella Ait Ouaouzguit Kilim

£1,250.00

A contemporary Ait Ouaouzguit Kilim (Hanbel) wool rug, masterfully handwoven to showcase a wave-like pattern reminiscent of vintage Japanese denim. The design flows seamlessly from soft, faded tones through darker indigo bands to washed natural denim hues, with denim blue oblong checks framing each edge — creating a sophisticated, modern twist on a traditional flat weave. The clever interplay of contrasting blues and soft greyish tones produces a mesmerizing optical illusion, a testament to the weaver’s technical mastery and expressive artistry.

Hailing from the Ait Ouaouzguit tribal region in the Siroua mountain range (south-west of Ouarzazate, High Atlas, Southern Morocco), this Kilim reflects the rich heritage of Berber weaving. Local artisans, particularly women, are celebrated for their precision, skill, and the exceptional quality of the Siroua sheep wool they employ — prized for its long, smooth fibers in pure white or black.

Handwoven using traditional artisan knotting techniques, this contemporary piece combines enduring craftsmanship with modern design sensibilities. Durable and versatile, it is ideal as a striking floor covering or layered textile accent for sophisticated interiors.
