Hand-Knotted Moroccan Rugs Woven with Meaning
Lacking a written language, ancient Berber weavers incorporated ancestral myths into their textiles using archaic images and symbols. Some anthropologists consider Berber tribes as the last pristine link to distant human origins. While living in complete isolation, Berber tribes took the time to preserve their cultural personality by weaving stories and ideas into their textiles for generation after generation. Natural dyes used in coloring wool include indigo, henna, and cochineal. Berber women incorporate elements into their rugs reflecting daily life experiences, such as rural scenes, religious beliefs, birth, femininity, animals, and natural flora and fauna. Even today, we connect with the colors and images on these rugs simply because they encapsulate all aspects of our lives: birth, death, and the distinct roles of men and women in society. Our collection of vintage Moroccan rugs for sale helps revivify the history of the Berber people, highlighting antique styles and encouraging the production of modern designs.
