About the Item

20316 Vintage Beni MGuild Moroccan Rug, 05'04 x 08'00. Beni M'Guild rugs, originating from the Beni M'Guild tribe nestled in the Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco, embody a cherished tradition deeply woven into Berber culture. Handcrafted by skilled Berber women using traditional methods passed down through generations, these rugs are esteemed for their dense pile, intricate geometric motifs, and vibrant color palettes. Adorned with iconic symbols such as diamonds, chevrons, and various geometric shapes, Beni M'Guild rugs possess a distinctive aesthetic that enchants collectors and interior designers alike. Revered for their exceptional craftsmanship, these rugs have garnered a prestigious reputation, coveted by those who admire their timeless beauty and cultural significance. In this hand-knotted wool vintage Beni M'Guild Moroccan rug, a captivating array of symbols unfolds, each bearing profound significance in Berber culture. Among the motifs adorning the rug are lozenges, X-shapes, fused triangles, zigzag lines, snakes, and burdock symbols, each representing facets of femininity, protection, and womanhood. At the heart of the rug, three stacked diamonds command attention, with one featuring an open end, symbolizing fertility and the essence of womanhood. The recurring X-shapes throughout the rug evoke the open embrace of a woman ready to conceive, weaving a narrative of fertility and the cycle of life. The border of the rug is adorned with an eight-point star and Hamsa motifs, symbolizing the protective presence of the male. In Berber tradition, male motifs often encase and frame female motifs, symbolizing fertility, protection, and the sanctity of family. This careful arrangement serves as a testament to the interplay between masculine and feminine energies, creating a harmonious balance within the rug's design. Despite its seemingly simplistic appearance, this Moroccan rug is imbued with layers of meaning and cultural significance, inviting viewers to delve deeper into its intricacies. As you trace your gaze across the rug's surface, you are drawn into a world where symbolism intertwines with craftsmanship, creating a history of cultural heritage and artistic expression. Each motif tells a story, reflecting the beliefs and traditions of the Berber people and celebrating the essence of womanhood and family. With its fusion of Midcentury Modern style and timeless symbolism, this Moroccan rug stands as more than just a piece of decor—it becomes a vessel for cultural exchange and a symbol of unity, bridging past and present in a captivating display of beauty and meaning. Rendered in variegated shades of maroon, burnt sienna, wine, orange, plum, tangerine, charcoal, sage, celadon, sand, tan, ecru, and beige with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Berber Tribes of Morocco. Beni MGuild. Measures: 05'04 x 08'00. Date: 1960s. Mid-20th Century.
