6 x 10 Vintage Boujad Moroccan Rug 20518

20518 Vintage Boujad Moroccan Rug, 06'00 x 10'04. 

Boujad rugs, hailing from the vibrant city of Boujad in the Khouribga region, are renowned for their eccentric and artistic designs, blending primitive charm, ancient symbolism, and Folk Art warmth. In the context of this vintage Moroccan rug, the squares in the pattern play a crucial role in conveying meaning. Unlike circles, squares with their straight lines represent the structured or natural order of the world. They symbolize enclosed spaces, signifying a safe abode of permanence and security.

Immerse yourself in the Bohemian allure of this hand-knotted wool vintage Berber Moroccan rug, a captivating piece that challenges traditional notions of harmony and balance with its pastel colors and Cubism grid pattern. This Boujad Moroccan rug goes beyond convention, sparking a visual conversation that echoes the weaver's artistic rebellion. The all-over asymmetrical and geometric pattern, featuring rectangles, squares, cubes, and bars, creates a dynamic composition that draws attention to the varied textures spread across this lively rug. A closer look reveals the meticulous organization within the seemingly chaotic order, as the abstract cubes unite to form a cohesive grid pattern. This deliberate design choice, while contemporary and whimsical, bears the imprint of the rug weaver's personal experiences and life events.

As you gaze upon this unique vintage Boujad rug, it becomes not just a floor covering but a visual narrative—a reflection of cultural beliefs passed down through generations. The intentional blend of primitive charm, ancient symbolism, and Folk Art warmth transforms this rug into a canvas that invites you to explore the nuanced traditions woven into its vibrant threads.
