About the Item

This Moroccan rug's intricate use of geometric elements exemplifies the skilled craftsmanship of the Berber weavers, who imbue their creations with cultural and spiritual significance. The purple Boujad rug's soft, luxurious wool fibers provide both texture and depth, inviting a tactile experience that enhances its visual appeal. The delicate fringe along the edges adds a touch of nomadic charm, highlighting the artisanal quality of the piece. The rich waves of abrash contribute to the rug’s Wabi-Sabi appeal while the beautiful purple tones and ​evoke the warmth of the Moroccan sun and the landscapes of the Boujad region.
