Beni M'Guild Berber Rug - 300 x 197 cm

Vintage Beni M'Guild rug | Handwoven wool rug adorned with a navy blue diamond pattern and a magenta band This vintage Beni M'Guild rug features a dense pattern of navy blue and gray diamonds, layered over a background with delicately faded shades, transitioning from pale mint green and a sandy tone at the base to powder pink and lilac hues near the top. Small crosses, "X" patterns, and stars dot the diamonds; some are sharp, while others are barely discernible, marked by time. A bold magenta band runs along the upper edge, adding a bright pop that contrasts with the otherwise soft and patinated palette of the rug. Hand-knotted with thick, fluffy wool by Berber women from the Beni M'Guild tribe in the Middle Atlas of Morocco, this rug reflects a structured weaving tradition rich in symbols. The changing and nuanced shades of the background, along with the delicate wear of the wool, attest to its age, resulting from several decades of use. With its overlapping diamond pattern and subtly gradient palette, this vintage Beni M'Guild rug is a true collector's piece, ideal for interiors that value intricate patterns, texture, and an authentic story. Beni M'Guild craftsmanship: authentic handmade creation Each rug is hand-knotted using traditional Beni M'Guild techniques: Berber women shape a dense layer of wool, row by row, directly on the loom, incorporating a structured network of tribal symbols. This tradition, unique to the Beni M'Guild tribes of the Middle Atlas, is distinguished by its meticulous symmetry and rich repertoire of geometric patterns.
