Lunja
THIS RUG'S STORY:
Meet Lunja: a lovely, pink vintage Beni M'Guild. The design on this one is a bit unique. Typically Beni M'Guild rugs feature more a diamond pattern, but I was told this one may have had Jewish influence. It ranges from light soft pink to more of a light coral pink. The name Lunja is a Moroccan name that symbolizes a fairytale princess. This rug is so feminine, I could totally see it in a girl's room or even a nursery.
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 up to weeks or months to complete a single rug. Weaving techniques have been passed down through the generations. The patterns, designs, and colors 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.
