About the Item
Moroccan Marmoucha rug handwoven with plush ivory and black wool in a complex Berber tribal symbol design with the year 1978 woven into the corner of the rug.
Dimensions: 6’4 X 11’5
Marmoucha rugs are a style of traditional Moroccan rugs, originating from the Marmoucha tribe in the Middle Atlas Mountains. They are often characterized by their thick, soft, and dense wool pile, providing warmth and comfort. Marmoucha rugs typically feature bold geometric patterns, particularly large criss-cross diamond designs, often in natural tones like cream, grey, brown, and black. They may also include other geometric patterns and symbols that reflect the tribe's culture and beliefs. These rugs are sometimes mistaken for Beni Ourain rugs, another type of Moroccan rug from the same region, but Marmoucha rugs often have their own distinct large criss-cross diamond design and tend to be lighter in weight and thickness..
The patterns and designs in Marmoucha rugs are rich in symbolism.
Diamond (Lozenge): Represents fertility and femininity, offering protection.
Scissors (X Shape): Sign of protection, believed to cut off evil forces.
Moroccan rugs are more than decorative pieces—they embody history, culture, and personal expression. Each rug reflects the artisan’s emotions, life events, and the identity of the tribe it comes from. The use of symbolic colors and patterns gives these rugs deeper meaning, from fertility and protection to strength and tranquility. Over centuries, these handmade creations have become symbols of prestige in Moroccan society and beloved items worldwide.
