About the Item

20698 Reversible Vintage Beni M'Guild Moroccan Rug, 05'03 x 10'03. Saturated in the luxurious warmth of magenta, raspberry, and rose tones, this hand-knotted wool vintage Beni M’Guild Moroccan rug evokes the dreamy mystique of Marrakech at twilight—where bougainvillea spills from ochre balconies and the Atlas Mountains stand like silent sentinels beyond the horizon. This heirloom-quality textile, handwoven by Berber artisans of the Middle Atlas, presents a rare open-field composition—a minimalist canvas of chromatic brilliance. Its reversible structure further enhances its desirability, providing both form and function in the tradition of the nomadic lifestyle. Each knot carries the imprint of an ancestral rhythm, whispering stories of hearth, migration, and identity through a palette that glows like rose quartz under Moroccan sun. This one-of-a-kind rug captures the soul of highland Morocco and the essence of modern art in a single, mesmerizing composition. Bands of abrash—those softly shifting tonal variations prized in collector’s circles—roll across the field in painterly succession, blending rich berry hues with whispers of fuchsia, plum, and violet. These tonal transitions echo the emotive resonance of Rothko’s color fields, where stillness and intensity coexist. The texture itself is deeply tactile, inviting barefoot indulgence while its visual depth suggests a rug far beyond its utilitarian origins—it becomes a meditative landscape, both grounding and transportive. The artistry of this Beni M’Guild rug lies not only in its bold simplicity but in the way it distills centuries of tradition into a contemporary expression of luxury. Traditionally used as bed coverings in winter, Beni M’Guild rugs were prized for their dense pile and deeply saturated dyes derived from local plants, cochineal, and minerals. Here, that legacy has been reimagined with cosmopolitan sophistication. The rug becomes a celebration of cultural duality—where tribal authenticity meets global design sensibility. It is a collector's piece not just for its rare field design and chromatic mastery, but for the soulful narrative embedded in every thread. Whether draped elegantly in a curated loft, anchoring a minimalist salon, or infusing a richly layered interior with bohemian opulence, this Moroccan masterpiece offers a tactile experience and a visual journey. It is not merely a rug, but a woven reverie—a sumptuous ode to place, memory, and material beauty. In a world that moves ever faster, it serves as a luxurious reminder to pause, to feel, and to marvel at the power of the handmade. Rendered in variegated shades of magenta, pink raspberry, cranberry, burgundy, eggplant, purple, plum, gray and beige. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Berber Tribes of Morocco. Beni MGuild. Measures: 05'03 x 10'03. Date: 1980s. Late 20th Century.
