About the Item

Rugs named after the town of Boujad were woven by Arab or Arabised Berber tribes, who are principally located on the southwestern foothills of the Middle Atlas mountains, in a region which allowed a close contact with the Arab tribes inhabiting the Haouz (the plains around Marrakesh), thus influencing each other in the structural characteristics as well as in terms of designs. Boujads represent one of the most creative and colourful facet of the Moroccan rug tradition. On this relatively rare black ground example, we see a honeycomb matrix of stepped diamond elements. The rich horizontal chromatic arrangement contrasts efficiently against the dark background, creating an ideal accent rug for many different kind of room settings, from traditional to modern.
