Description

20944 Vintage Red Beni MGuild Moroccan Rug, 05'08 x 10'02. 

This vintage Beni MGuild rug stands as a testament to the rich culture of Moroccan craftsmanship, meticulously handwoven by the skilled artisans of the Beni MGuild tribe—a distinct subset of the Berber ethnic community in Morocco. Celebrated for their intricate designs, these rugs are a vibrant canvas of geometric patterns, tribal symbols, and a lively color palette. Embracing the essence of Pacific Northwest Design, this vintage Beni MGuild Moroccan rug seamlessly marries Northwest Modern aesthetics with nomadic charm.

The vivid details of the lozenge lattice and the warm, spicy hues woven into this piece evoke the landscapes of Morocco and the aromatic spices found in the bustling Souks of Marrakech. Against an abrashed red backdrop, an enchanting allover pattern of lozenges converges to form an intricate diamond trellis. Each diamond is adorned with a myriad of protective motifs, including Burdocks, Hamsa, cross motifs, X-shapes, V-shapes, concentric diamonds, and triangles. These symbols carry profound meaning, with Burdocks signifying protection, Hamsa symbolizing good luck and protection against the evil eye, crosses representing spirituality, X-shapes symbolizing the open arms and legs of a woman ready to conceive, V-shapes representing open thighs, concentric diamonds symbolizing womanhood, and triangles embodying strength and stability.

Beneath its seemingly simple exterior, this captivating vintage Moroccan rug reveals a world of cultural significance. Emanating Pacific Northwest Design principles and infused with eclectic tribal elements, the plush pile of natural wool adds an extra layer of sustainability to its narrative. The rug not only captures the spirit of the Pacific Northwest but also offers a cozy and comfortable ambiance, making it a harmonious addition to any space.
