THIS RUG'S STORY:
This rare find from the Boujad tribe is so special because although it is an authentically old vintage piece, the design looks like something that would be created today! And lemme tell ya, this one is really well made because it is extremely heavy! This is for the person who wants to bring a special piece of Moroccan art and history into a modern or contemporary setting.
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.
COLORS/MATERIALS: various shades of lighter and darker red, purple, black, cream. Hand knotted wool.
