Vintage Berber Black Monochrome Stripe Hanbel Rug. These are flat-woven rugs (Hanbel in Arabic) which are light in weight due to the lack of pile. They are often used on floors in hotter countries as they are easy to just shake outside if dusty or sandy. In cooler climates, they are suited to wooden floors as a decorative item, as bedcovers or blankets , or even wall hangings. Often they feature strong designs and patterns and may incorporate some low pile, knotted elements and hand embroidery. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
