Old Glory
THIS RUG'S STORY:
Old Glory is a unique find from the Beni M'Guild tribe. The star pattern is something you don't find very often, and is a stunning feature of this rug. If you look at the back, you will see the pattern of the knots. You will also find the year "1994" woven in. This is likely the year the rug was created, making it approximately 31 years old.
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 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.
