Unusual dark toned vintage Beni M'Guild carpet curated by Breuckelen Berber

About the Item

An exceptional dark and intriguing vintage Beni M'Guild featuring an organized motif structure divided into three distinct sections. The central area holds a lozenge network filled with 8-pointed stars and crosses. At one end orderly hamsas and X-forms are stacked in rows, with a much looser approach taken at the opposite end. Here the motifs float in a more haphazard yet thoughtful manner, with a strong rod form dividing the area. An abrashed field of natural browns is knotted in low pile with motifs in poppy red, cerulean, sky blue, hints of faded orange/yellow, and ivory. 100% wool. The Beni M'Guild tribe has a long tradition of carpet making...their work tends to be quite dense, as tribes of this region weave their pieces to withstand the harsh cold climate of the Middle Atlas Mountains. Common Berber symbolism can be found in many of their woven works, while other carpets are created with solid fields, devoid of any patterns or motifs. Variations in dye lots fade over the decades, showing as subtle nuances in hue (abrash), often creating waves of color. Sometimes, the dense pile reveals a hidden pattern from below. All of our inventory is hand selected in Morocco. We curate the best possible selection of vintage Berber carpets available. Our entire collection of carpets and textiles is located in Brooklyn, New York. All of our pieces are professionally cleaned and restored prior to coming to market. We ship anywhere in the world within two weeks.
