20959 Vintage Purple Beni MGuild Moroccan Rug, 06'01 x 09'04. 

Crafted by the skilled hands of Berber women from the Ait M'Guild tribe in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Beni Mguild rugs are celebrated for their high-quality wool and intricate designs, employing traditional Moroccan weaving techniques.

In this hand-knotted wool vintage Beni Mguild Moroccan rug, the essence of global chic effortlessly merges with Bohemian design style. The abrashed purple background becomes a canvas for an enchanting display of diamonds forming an intricate trellis pattern. Each lozenge is adorned with symbolic motifs, including Burdocks for protection, X-shapes, cross motifs, Elibelinde and Bereket for fertility and prosperity, triangles for strength, and concentric diamonds, creating a rich tapestry of cultural significance.

Framed by repeating squares patterned with a lozenge and cross motif in a chain-link border, this Moroccan rug beautifully captures the dynamic interplay between male and female motifs. In Moroccan tradition, the outer portions of the composition, featuring male motifs, symbolize protection and the sanctuary of the family. The carefully chosen symbols in this vintage Beni Mguild rug weave a narrative of fertility, protection, and cultural heritage, making it a unique and meaningful addition to any space adorned with Bohemian flair.
