Description

20219 Vintage Red Boujad Moroccan Rug, 04’06 x 09’04. 

Boujad rugs are handwoven carpets originating from the Boujad region in the Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Traditionally crafted by Berber tribes, particularly the Haouz and Rehamna tribes, these rugs showcase vibrant colors, intricate geometric patterns, and symbolic motifs. Known for their bold and lively designs, Boujad rugs incorporate a mix of vivid colors such as reds, pinks, and oranges, often featuring diamonds, chevrons, and other geometric shapes. Each rug is a unique piece of art, expressing the weavers' creativity and cultural heritage. Boujad rugs have gained popularity for their distinctive aesthetics and craftsmanship, serving both as functional floor coverings and decorative elements that enhance interior spaces. 

Embark on a journey where Boho Chic seamlessly intertwines with the enchanting allure of nomadic charm in this captivating hand-knotted wool vintage Boujad rug. Stealing the spotlight are a trio of stair-step cross-like motifs, with two filled with a single diamond surrounded by a row of stacked diamonds on each side. Delve into the depths of symbolism as these designs in the Berber Moroccan rug represent conception and womanhood. At the horizontal ends of the rug lies a checkerboard pattern (known as Barley in Berber culture), symbolizing fertility, while a triangle pattern adorns the vertical sides, representing the past, present, and future or spirit, mind, and body. Animated with invigorating triangles, femininity, and protection symbols, this vintage Moroccan rug offers a myriad of meanings through its geometric shapes.

Brimming with visual intricacies and radiating a spectrum of polychromatic brilliance, this vintage Moroccan rug transcends mere decoration; it weaves a narrative that echoes generations of cultural beliefs. Its captivating essence transforms it into an enchanting addition, capable of casting a spell of timeless allure in almost any interior it graces.
