About the Item

21608 Vintage Berber Boujad Moroccan Rug, 03'09 x 06'10. This hand-knotted wool vintage Boujad Moroccan rug showcases an expressive design that exudes incredible texture and detail. The checkerboard pattern that dominates the field captures the eye with its rhythmic repetition and bold use of color. Each square is carefully crafted with layers of intricate wool, creating a tactile, almost sculptural quality that draws the viewer in. The Moroccan rug's abrashed soft earthy hues form a lively yet harmonious palette that speaks to the skill and creativity of the Berber weavers who created it. The all-over checkerboard pattern, thought to represent the barley motif, holds deep symbolic meaning within Berber culture. Barley is an ancient fertility symbol, reflecting the connection to the land and the abundance it provides. This motif, woven with such care, serves as a reminder of the importance of agricultural life in the Berber way of life. It is a symbol of growth, sustenance, and the cyclical nature of life, imbued with the hopes and wishes of those who created it. In each square of the rug lies not only a visual design but also a tangible connection to the earth and the rituals of the Berber people. The fusion of color in this vintage Boujad rug enhances its overall aesthetic, creating a dynamic visual experience. The interplay between earthy tones and soft colors adds a sense of spontaneity and energy to the piece. The wool's natural softness, combined with the intricate design, makes this rug both visually captivating and a pleasure to touch. Each strand of wool has been carefully knotted to create a pattern that reflects the harmony between function and beauty, which is central to the Berber weaving tradition. This vintage Boujad rug is not just a decorative piece but a work of cultural expression. It embodies the spirit of the Berber tribes, with their deep respect for nature and the rituals that connect them to the land. With its symbolic motifs, rich textures, and harmonious colors, this Boujad Moroccan rug transforms any space it occupies, adding warmth, personality, and a deep sense of history. Whether displayed in a contemporary setting or as part of a more traditional home, this woven wonder is a timeless piece that invites reflection on the artistry and heritage of Morocco’s Berber tribes. Rendered in variegated shades of orange, peach, brown, taupe, coffee, mint, cerulean, tangerine, hot pink, gray, light green, and greige with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Measures: 03'09 x 06'10. Date: 1980's. Late 20th Century.
