Vintage Beni M'Guild Rug - 294 x 200 cm

Vintage Beni Mguild rug | Handwoven Berber wool rug, patinated grey background with filigree diamond pattern This vintage Beni Mguild rug, imbued with a unique atmosphere, features a soft grey-green background, lightened by the sun, adorned with a filigree diamond pattern in pale anthracite grey; the stepped diamond shapes and 'X' crossings are subtly hinted at in delicate traces on the surface. Subtle touches of old rose, powder blue, and mauve emerge here and there through the patinated background, evoking the richer palette the rug once displayed. A row of small floral motifs runs along the top and sides, framed by a fine striped border, while a raw fringe, softened by time, finishes the upper edge. Handwoven in wool by Berber artisans from the Beni Mguild confederation in the Middle Atlas, this rug illustrates the softness of tone-on-tone shades and the freehand pattern work that has made Beni Mguild pieces renowned. Designed from memory rather than from a fixed model, the stepped diamonds and scattered floral motifs reflect the unique creative vision of the weaver, making this item truly one of a kind. Its very patinated tone-on-tone palette and slightly worn pile bear witness to decades of use, a hallmark of authentic vintage textiles. Its delicately patinated grey background, filigree diamond pattern, and subtle touches of pink and blue make this vintage Beni Mguild rug a centrepiece with a unique atmosphere and discreet charm, ideal for interiors that value history, texture, and authentic tribal craftsmanship. Authentic Beni Mguild artisanal craftsmanship Each rug is entirely handwoven using traditional techniques passed down through generations by Berber weavers from the Beni Mguild region in the Middle Atlas.
