Handmade blue mergoum rug in natural wool

The margoum rug is also unique in that it is made according to the oldest traditions with regard to its weaving methods: the bottom of the margoum is woven like on a kilim, and the patterns are embroidered using knots, like a classic rug, but inside out. The margoum therefore has no hair but a smooth appearance with reliefs. On its back side, the wool return threads testify to the artisanal authenticity of this handmade rug. The margoum is based on the diamond design in arabic "regma", the word "mergoum" comes from here. However, margoum is of berber origin, and the diamonds symbolize fertility. There are three main types of patterns: a large number of small diamonds, medium diamonds, or large central diamonds. Our handmade rugs are controlled by the quality department of the national crafts office. A certificate of authenticity accompanies each piece.
