Vintage Berber Rug - 435 x 175 cm

Vintage Boujad Rug|Handwoven Wool Table Runner with Faded Pink Medallions. This vintage Boujad table runner embodies the understated elegance of time passing; its finely detailed medallions have softened over the decades to offer a palette of patinated colours blending old pink, pale blue, and worn black. Diamond-shaped medallions arranged in a mirror pattern, with intricate inner details, structure the upper part; they are framed by dense geometric borders and rows of small triangular motifs. The lower half, on the other hand, fades into pale and ethereal tones, where a third medallion barely emerges from the patinated background. Hand-knotted in wool by Berber women from the Boujad region of Morocco, this rug illustrates a more structured and meticulous facet of the tradition, with precise work on the medallions and dense border motifs, contrasting with the freer and more spontaneous abstraction often associated with Boujad rugs. The nuanced wear and soft, low pile testify to its authentic age, giving it the unique character that only decades of use and exposure to light can shape. With its palette of faded pink and complex medallions, this vintage Boujad table runner will appeal to collectors and enthusiasts of interiors that favour authentic textiles patinated by time. Authentic Handcrafted Boujad. 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 artisan has adopted a more detailed and structured approach than the typical free abstraction of Boujad, achieving with great precision mirror medallions and dense geometric borders.
