About the Item
21673 Vintage Berber Boujad Moroccan Rug, 04'07 x 04'09. This hand-knotted wool vintage Boujad Moroccan rug radiates an undeniable charm, with a design that embodies both simplicity and bold expressive energy. The abrashed field features an all-over checkerboard pattern, composed of alternating colored blocks that evoke the symbolic motif of barley, traditionally associated with fertility. The rich interplay of deep blacks and earthy terracotta tones conveys the essence of Moroccan heritage while offering a visual harmony that brings depth and warmth to any space.
Across the Boujad rug's surface, three horizontal stripes break the flow of the pattern, introducing an element of sultry drama and contrast. These stripes, woven with precision, add an unexpected edge to the otherwise rhythmic design, creating a balance between chaos and order. The rough yet refined texture, softened by gentle waves of abrash and subtle variations in wear, infuses the Moroccan rug with a sense of history and organic beauty, imbuing it with a lived-in feel that evokes timelessness.
The design is deeply rooted in both the artistic spirit of the Berber tribes and the geometric influences of Cubism and Bauhaus style, with clean lines and structured forms that reflect the work of artists like Hans Hofmann, Karl Benjamin, and Theo van Doesburg. The colors, arranged in a graphic color-block pattern, speak to the modernist movement while maintaining an undeniable connection to the ancestral traditions of Morocco’s Berber tribes. This striking blend of the traditional and the contemporary invites exploration, as the rug weaves a visual dialogue between past and present.
Beyond its visual impact, this vintage Boujad rug is a celebration of Berber craftsmanship, carrying with it the stories and symbolism of generations past. Each woven thread tells of a rich cultural legacy, where art, tradition, and symbolism converge to create an object of beauty and meaning. The bold geometric design and deep colors serve as a testament to the creativity and resilience of the Berber people, offering a piece that not only elevates interior spaces but also connects them to the timeless rhythm of the land from which it originated.
Rendered in variegated shades of black, coffee, brick red, terra cotta, charcoal, and orange hues with other accent colors.
