About the Item
77899 Vintage Boujad Moroccan Rug, 02'05 x 03'00.
This hand-knotted wool vintage Boujad Moroccan rug is a striking example of the Berber Tribes' rich cultural heritage and artisanal skill. Originating from the Boujad region of Morocco, this piece showcases an intricate diamond trellis design, where lozenges and diamond-shaped compartments are interwoven to form a captivating lattice. The bold, earthy red background provides a vivid contrast to the intricate motifs, while the vibrant colors of pink, green, and yellow accentuate the depth and complexity of the design, drawing the viewer’s eye across the composition. This rug embodies the spirit of Berber craftsmanship, with each knot carefully woven to reflect both tradition and creativity.
Each diamond-shaped compartment in this Boujad rug is filled with a variety of esoteric tribal symbols, each with its own profound meaning. Among the most prominent symbols are the Hamsa, also known as camel tracks, symbolizing protection and the warding off of the evil eye. The lozenges, often associated with fertility and conception, represent the passage of life and the cyclical nature of existence. The X-shapes are indicative of crossroads and choices, while the Hands on Hips motif, known as elibelinde, is a powerful symbol of the Mother Goddess, representing femininity, womanhood, and motherhood. These symbols serve as a visual language, woven into the rug to convey stories of life, love, and protection.
The colorful design is rich in symbolism, with motifs such as the Partridge Eye, which represents beauty and feminine power, and seeds, symbolizing fertility and the continuity of life. Each element is infused with the beliefs, hopes, and spiritual values of the Berber tribes, who view these symbols not just as decoration, but as protective charms. The diverse motifs of this rug evoke a sense of connection to nature, spirituality, and the sacred bond between the earth and its people. The intricate details and vibrant hues draw on the natural world, celebrating the fertility of the land and the importance of family, protection, and life.
Beyond its functional purpose, this vintage Boujad Moroccan rug serves as a powerful storyteller. It captures the essence of Berber life, weaving together ancient beliefs and modern artistic sensibilities. The combination of vivid colors, intricate motifs, and symbolic depth makes this rug a timeless addition to any space. Its ability to evoke a sense of warmth, history, and cultural connection makes it more than just a floor covering; it is a statement piece, a work of art that transforms any room into a sanctuary of beauty, tradition, and storytelling.
Rendered in variegated shades of maroon, burgundy, hot pink, orange, teal, green, charcoal, brown, beige, and black with other accent colors.
