As with any painting or poem, their motifs have many subjective interpretations. Originally made for personal use, these rugs took months to weave, documenting a shifting tide of events and emotions in the weaver’s life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStripes—a simple and timeless classic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepending on who you ask, the X symbol stands for the body (wih arms or legs spread out), or scissors, which represent the protective, magical qualities of metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eZayane, also known as Zaiane or Izayen, refers to a confederation of tribes whose tribal territory included the town of Khenifra. Intended for bedding and floor covering, Zayane rugs have a long, often red pile. Woven from the back in a reverse pile technique, these rugs only reveal their design on the front after the pile has been gently worn down from use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial Details\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eWool, a staple in Moroccan rug design, was considered almost sacred to the Amazigh (Berber) people, whose nomadic lifestyle included sheep and goat herding. In addition to being available, wool is durable, long-lasting, and soft—so it’s super comfy to walk and relax on. In this piece, the wool pile is knotted onto a wool foundation, adding body and helping it hug the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoroccan wool is locally sourced and produces a thick, strong pile that feels soft underfoot. Having stood the test of time, this hand-processed wool has reacted to its various environments, acquiring an untamed, nubby look and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003c!-- Rug Care --\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eDust and dirt that accumulate in your rug can erode the fibers over time. The best way to combat this is to take your rug outside and give it a good shake once a week. Depending on how large it is, you may need to recruit a friend to help. Also, be sure to get a rug pad—this helps to preserve your rug in spite of dirt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIf shaking it out isn’t possible, you can vacuum it instead—just be cautious, and don’t use a rotary vacuum, because it can damage the fibers. Once or twice a month, use the suction attachment gently, from side to side. Once or twice a year, flip your rug over and vacuum the back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eOnce a year, let it sunbathe. Hang it in the sun for a few hours when it’s hottest, and flip it over midway through, to expose both sides to direct sunlight. This sun-bleaching helps further sanitize the wool. It’s a natural method to bleach and deodorize it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eTo ensure equal wear and protect against walk patterns, change your rug's direction periodically. You can also flip your rug upside-down once in awhile, and use it like that for a bit. With Moroccan rugs, the back is typically as nice as the front.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eEvery 3-5 years, we recommend getting your rug professionally hand-washed with a Moroccan rug expert. Please do not take it to get steam or dry cleaned—this will almost certainly damage the rug! Hand-washing requires the use of a pH-balanced shampoo, worked into the rug by hand with a soft-bristled brush, before being rinsed thoroughly. This process should be repeated a few times.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIn case of spills:\n\n\t\t\u003cul\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cli\u003eBlot the spill until it is dry, but do not add liquid. Consult an Oriental rug specialist immediately for cleaning. Adding liquid can make it harder to remove stains, and can even extend them further. This is because moisture travels along the fiber, so in rugs with horizontal fibers (like flatweaves), it can get trapped.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Revival-OOAK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39438399864931,"sku":"MOSR05305000455","price":686.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1718\/8557\/products\/MOSR053PU05000455_MOS0455_1ove_vintage-moroccan-kilim-modesto.jpg?v=1624277518","url":"https:\/\/www.checkout.revivalrugs.com\/products\/vintage-moroccan-kilim-modesto","provider":"Revival Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
