Vintage Berber Rug - 139 x 90 cm

Vintage Boujad rug | Handwoven wool rug with a red "cloud" medallion and lattice diamond pattern This vintage Boujad rug features a large medallion with contours reminiscent of a cloud, in a deep brick red; its soft, irregular edges gently blend into an ivory field. A vertical chain of interwoven diamonds—in navy, peach, and cream tones—descends from the medallion, with each shape connected to the next in a rhythmic and continuous sequence along the length of the piece. A solid brown border frames the rug, while soft fringes finish the upper edge. Hand-knotted in wool by Berber women from the Boujad region of Morocco, this rug presents a more structured and geometric composition than the typical free abstraction of this tradition, while still retaining the soft cloud-like medallion that gives the piece a true presence. The slightly patinated hues and worn velvet in places testify to its authentic age, the result of decades of use and handling. With its bold red medallion and interconnected diamond chain, this vintage Boujad rug offers a striking pattern and an authentic story, appealing to collectors and interiors that appreciate the unique character of handmade items. Authentic Boujad craftsmanship and handmade Each rug is hand-knotted using traditional Boujad weaving techniques, where Berber women create a dense wool pile, row by row, directly on the loom. Here, the weaver has combined a bold medallion with free forms and a more structured lattice chain; a blend of spontaneous colours and thoughtful geometry that reflects the richness of Boujad's weaving tradition.
