This rare and exceptional Tunisian handmade rug, titled "Gates of the Medina," is a testament to the dedication and artistry of skilled craftsmen. Taking over a year of meticulous hand-weaving to complete, this rug embodies the pinnacle of traditional Tunisian rug-making. Its panel-style design is inspired by the iconic gates, arches, and motifs of Medina architecture, celebrating the cultural and historical essence of Tunisia.
Each rectangular panel tells a story, showcasing detailed depictions of gates, vases, stylized trees, and architectural elements. The motifs are rendered in earthy tones of green, beige, and cream, with accents of deep blue and burgundy, creating a harmonious balance of colors. Surrounding the intricate panels is a vibrant blue border adorned with geometric and floral patterns, tying the composition together and emphasizing its elegance.

Size: Ideal for large spaces, serving as both a functional and decorative statement piece.
Texture: The texture is exceptionally fine, with a dense weave of 40 x 40 threads per square decimeter. This meticulous weaving process ensures a smooth yet slightly raised surface, giving depth and dimension to the intricate motifs. The natural wool adds a plush, soft feel while ensuring the rug’s long-lasting quality and resistance to wear.
The year-long labor of love and artistry invested in creating "Gates of the Medina" makes it a truly unique and valuable piece. Its rarity and cultural significance, combined with its breathtaking design and craftsmanship, make it an heirloom-quality rug that will enrich any collection or living space with history and elegance.
