Farhana
THIS RUG'S STORY:
Coming from an area named El Gharb, meaning "the West" this lovely rug originates from a tribal region west of Marrakech. Farhana means "happy" or "joyful" in Arabic, and that is exactly what this rug is! The vibrant colors and diamond design make it such a unique work of art!
ABOUT MOROCCAN RUGS:
Each vintage Moroccan rug is hand woven and knotted by Berber women of the tribal region specified. This level of craftsmanship can take weeks or months to complete a single rug. Weaving techniques have been passed down through the generations. The patterns, designs, and colors in each rug vary with each rug, weaver, and tribe – so each piece is truly a unique work of art and 2 pieces will never be the same. Often these rugs have been handed down through the families who created them, and have been uncovered from the mountain and rural areas of Morocco.
