Product code: African top woven art
Exquisite and rare kneeling mats from Tanzania (Ilala District). Very fine workmanship. These are vintage pieces, nine in all, ranging in size from 6” square to 9” x 7-1/2” and are all in excellent unused condition. New old stock from a mid-century importer. Today, if you can find one, they run about $50 and up, each. By comparison, there is a single one listed on a major platform as “Antique North African 19th Century Small Rush Woven May” for $209, which has a much less complex pattern. Suitable for top framing individually, or in a large frame as a statement piece. Great for the collection of a basket maker or weaver, also for the collector of traditional tribal African art.
