“A miscellaneous collection of rare Moroccan rugs from various Berber tribes in The Atlas Mountains. Many of these pieces are hard to come by and offer something a little unusual to their equally beautiful counterparts. They showcase the diversity of colour, style and skill of the artisan women that handcraft each and every piece.” From beldirugs.com

Vintage 1970′s rug from the Berber tribal signed with a car. A rare piece which is “HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE”.

Collecting - a wrap of happiness
