An early Rehamna carpet in distressed condition, yet expressing a magic characteristic of ancient weavings. The pattern is arranged in horizontal compartments, each containing an array of lozenges, hexagons and squares in a restrained palette typical of earlier Moroccan carpets. The resulting patina exudes a refined and timeless elegance and harmony.
