Handwoven by Berber women using traditional techniques, this rug stands out for its layered composition, joyful color palette, and abstract, almost pictorial language.
The design is organized in horizontal bands, each telling a visual story through a rich mix of geometric symbols, lozenges, triangles, and talismanic motifs. The palette blends deep red, ivory, soft pink, ochre yellow, sky blue, turquoise, and charcoal accents, creating a vibrant yet balanced harmony. The variations in color density and weave give the rug a unique sense of movement and depth.
Boujad rugs are celebrated for their artistic freedom and narrative approach, often compared to abstract paintings. This piece is a particularly decorative example, full of warmth, personality, and authenticity.
