About the Item

A classic antique Beni M'Guild featuring a field of intricately filled lozenges knotted in natural indigo and shades of magenta, apricot, and orange. Artistic interpretations of hamsas, crosses, triangles, and other intriguing forms alternate in rows across the composition. Vibrant orange borders run along both selvages, framing the composition. Note a few areas of repair and signs of overall wear, consistent with age and use. Constructed of all wool with a time-faded patina. Dated 1929, visible on the backside. The Beni M'Guild tribe has a long tradition of carpet making...their work tends to be quite dense, as tribes of this region weave their pieces to withstand the harsh cold climate of the Middle Atlas Mountains. Common Berber symbolism can be found in many of their woven works, while other carpets are created with solid fields, devoid of any patterns or motifs. Variations in dye lots fade over the decades, showing as subtle nuances in hue (abrash), often creating waves of color. Sometimes, the dense pile reveals a hidden pattern from below. All of our inventory is hand-selected in Morocco. We curate the best possible selection of vintage Berber carpets available. Our entire collection of carpets and textiles is located in Brooklyn, New York. All of our pieces are professionally cleaned and restored prior to coming to market. We ship anywhere in the world within two weeks.
