About the Item

The rugs of the Beni Mguild tribe, located in the Moroccan Middle Atlas Mountains, are often distinguished by the rich tone of their monochromatic rugs, woven with lanolin-rich wool and constructed in particularly sturdy fashion. This example is woven in indigo-dyed wool, which is rare to find and is indicative of the rug's age as well as quality, since indigo dying was exclusively done by Jewish craftsmen until the mid 20th century. Older examples like the present one are increasingly difficult to find, and are distinguished by a truly stunning abrash, which are the various blue colour gradations, imparting the rug with a timeless beauty. The slightly larger size is also quite rare for this type and makes this carpet particularly desirable for today's interiors.
