6 x 8 Vintage Red Beni MGuild Moroccan Rug 20890

20890 Vintage Red Beni MGuild Moroccan Rug, 05'09 x 07'08. 

This vintage Beni MGuild rug is a traditional handwoven Moroccan masterpiece crafted by the Beni MGuild tribe, a subset of the Berber ethnic community in Morocco. Known for their intricate designs, these rugs often feature diverse geometric patterns, tribal symbols, and a vibrant palette.

Bathed in a luminous fiery glow and offering a luxurious underfoot experience, this hand-knotted wool vintage red Moroccan Beni M'Guild rug radiates with chromatic brilliance and emotional energy. Created by Berber Tribe weavers who lacked a written language, these rugs serve as symbolic records of daily life. The main diamond lattice, formed by a series of small triangles resembling an hourglass shape, is a traditional nod to the female form. Abundant diamond shapes heavily adorn this Beni Mguild rug, symbolizing a woman's openness to conceive and the power of womanhood. Some lozenges feature the Burdock motif with latch-hook edges, serving as protection symbols against evil spirits. Vertical borders along the sides symbolize the male's presence, a common theme in Moroccan rugs where male motifs frame and enclose female motifs, representing fertility, protection, and family sanctuary. Despite its deceptive simplicity, this striking red Moroccan rug is infused with deep cultural meaning and significance.
