Handwoven several decades ago, this rug stands out for its refined patina, complex geometric composition, and an exceptionally harmonious palette of warm reds, soft pinks, faded corals, and subtle earth tones.
At the center, an intricate medallion structure is framed by expressive motifs and ancestral symbols, each carrying cultural meaning and narrative depth. The natural aging of the wool has created a luminous, balanced surface that only time can achieve, making this rug not just a decorative object, but a true textile artwork.
Highly sought after by collectors and interior designers, Boujad rugs of this quality, condition, and visual strength are increasingly rare on the market.
Historical & Artistic Value
Boujad rugs are renowned for their bold compositions, free-form designs, and emotional color stories. Traditionally woven by women artisans for personal or familial use, these rugs were never produced to commercial standards, making each example unique.
This piece embodies the essence of Boujad weaving at its highest level: expressive, authentic, and deeply rooted in Moroccan cultural heritage.
Interior Use & Styling
Ideal for refined interiors, art-focused spaces, or collector environments.
This rug functions equally as a statement floor piece or as a wall-mounted textile artwork.
Perfect for high-end residential projects, galleries, or curated design interiors.
