Handwoven black and white rug

The margoum rug is also unique in that it is made according to the oldest traditions regarding its weaving methods: the base of the margoum is woven like a kilim, and the patterns are embroidered using knots, like a classic rug, but in reverse. The margoum therefore has no pile but a smooth appearance with reliefs. On its reverse side, the wool return threads testify to the artisanal authenticity of this handmade rug. The margoum is based on the diamond pattern in Arabic "regma", and the word "mergoum" comes from here. However, margoum originates from the Berbers, and the diamonds symbolise fertility. There are three main types of patterns: a large number of small diamonds, medium diamonds, or large central diamonds. All our handmade rugs are inspected by the quality service of the national office of craftsmanship. A certificate of authenticity accompanies each piece.
