Beni M'Guild Moroccan Rug - 322 x 210 cm

Vintage Beni M'Guild rug | Handwoven wool rug with a diamond pattern in powder pink This vintage Beni M'Guild rug features a dense diamond pattern across its surface, adorned with small understated grey tribal symbols that stand out against a soft background of powder pink and ivory hues. A border embellished with "X" shaped motifs frames the piece, echoing the geometric rhythm of the central pattern. The delicate warmth of this pink-grey palette gives the rug a softer appearance than the more common traditional ivory and brown combination. Hand-knotted in wool by the Berber women of the Beni M'Guild tribe in the Middle Atlas of Morocco, this rug reflects a structured weaving tradition rich in symbols. The softened hues and slightly time-worn velvet attest to its authenticity and history, shaped by decades of use. With its powder pink tones and refined repetitive geometric pattern, this vintage Beni M'Guild rug adds a touch of sobriety and an authentic story to interiors that favour artisanal and soothing textures. Authentic Beni M'Guild craftsmanship Each rug is hand-knotted using traditional Beni M'Guild techniques: Berber women create a dense wool pile, row by row, directly on the loom, producing a structured diamond pattern punctuated with tribal symbols. This weaving tradition, unique to the Beni M'Guild tribes of the Middle Atlas, is renowned for its rigorous symmetry and the richness of its repertoire of geometric motifs. The regularity of the diamond pattern and the borders adorned with "X" motifs reflect the meticulous and symbolic approach characteristic of Beni M'Guild weaving, while the patinated hues and slight wear testify to the authenticity and artisanal origin of the piece.
