About the Item

20470 Vintage Red Boujad Moroccan Rug Runner, 03'08 x 08'08. This hand-knotted wool vintage Boujad Moroccan rug, originating from the Berber tribes of Morocco, is a remarkable piece that embodies the spirit of tribal artistry and timeless cultural significance. With its vibrant red field and playful geometric design, this Boujad rug offers a perfect blend of bold bohemian charm and ancient symbolism. The checkered pattern, adorned with a myriad of colors, draws the eye and creates a sense of movement and rhythm throughout the piece. Each diamond-shaped motif is bordered by contrasting hues, creating a striking visual impact that reflects both the vibrant energy of Moroccan landscapes and the rich tradition of Berber craftsmanship. The motifs found within this Moroccan rug are a testament to the symbolic language of the Berber tribes, each symbol woven with deep meaning and intention. The diamonds scattered across the surface are not mere design elements, but carry profound symbolism. The lozenge shapes often represent fertility and beauty, while the eyes within the diamonds are thought to offer protection against the evil eye, a common theme in Berber traditions. The irregular placement of these motifs creates an impression of spontaneous creativity, yet each design is carefully chosen to reflect the Berber people's spiritual beliefs and connection to nature. The use of color in this vintage Boujad rug enhances its meaning and beauty. Rich reds, deep blues, and vibrant yellows dominate the field, while the borders feature contrasting shades of black and beige, adding both structure and harmony. The recurring motifs of the eyes and diamonds, combined with the interplay of color, evoke the warmth of the Moroccan sun and the mystique of the desert landscape. The fringe, left intentionally unraveled at the edges, adds a rustic touch, highlighting the handwoven nature of the piece and grounding it in the authenticity of traditional craftsmanship. As you trace your fingers across the plush surface of this vintage Boujad rug, you are transported to a world where each thread tells a story. It serves not just as a functional piece, but as a living artifact of the Berber culture, infused with history, folklore, and the enduring spirit of the people who crafted it. With its striking beauty, timeless symbols, and rich cultural heritage, this rug brings an aura of enchantment and bohemian flair to any space, creating a captivating focal point in your home.
