Description

Zapotec Wool Rug, Mexico – 4’4” x 8’8”, Geometric Kilim Weave

Colorful handwoven Zapotec wool rug from Oaxaca, Mexico, circa 2000. This striking textile features traditional flatweave construction with dynamic geometric motifs including chevrons, diamonds, and stepped patterns in a vivid palette of reds, blues, greens, and ochres. The design’s rhythmic horizontal striping and contrasting shapes reflect the rich heritage of Zapotec weaving, known for its intricate craftsmanship and naturally dyed wool fibers.

Ideal as a floor accent or wall hanging, this rug combines bold folk artistry with authentic regional character. A distinctive piece that embodies the enduring traditions of Oaxacan artisans.


Condition:

In fair condition overall, showing several areas of wear and visible color bleed from dyes. The weave remains stable, and fringe ends are intact though slightly uneven. Surface wear and fading are consistent with use and age, but the rug retains strong visual appeal and structural integrity. Please review photos closely for condition details.


Dimensions:

104 x 52 inches (4’4” x 8’8”)
