Kairouan emerged as the centre of Tunisian pile rug knotting in the late 19th century, when a state-supported workshop programme established the craft as a regional economic pillar. The city was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1988, in part for this textile culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKairouan rugs combine medallion structures with the warm earth-tone palette of the Maghreb. Unlike the geometrically austere Moroccan Berber traditions, Kairouan work is urban-arabic in character rather than tribal — the medallion is the central visual element, drawn within a finely composed border. The piece was hand-knotted in \u003cstrong\u003e100 % wool on a cotton foundation\u003c\/strong\u003e, a construction characteristic of Kairouan work that gives a firmer hand and sharper drawing than wool-on-wool Berbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColour and Composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA finely drawn border encloses a balanced medallion field in \u003cstrong\u003ebeige, caramel and warm brown\u003c\/strong\u003e — the warm earth-tone register that has held unbroken relevance in contemporary interiors. The wool is densely and evenly knotted, the pile quiet and inviting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePresence in the Room\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e297 × 195 cm (6.4 × 9.7 ft), 5.8 m²\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a medium room-size piece.
