RARE LISTING. Part of a mismatched pair!

Very rare, vintage Boujad Berber rug, one of a mismatched pair (see Boujad 325 also), unusual colours and a strong tribal design. Handwoven by women of the Berber tribes, this vintage Moroccan rug is one of two very unique Boujad rugs, which sit beside each other to tell their story as one.

It’s almost impossible to get a pair of vintage Moroccan rugs, created by the same weaver from the same home (although we do have a mismatched pair of vintage Beni Ouarain rugs too). These pieces were created for domestic use in their own home, they were never intended for the tourist trade. The abstract tribal motifs tell a story unique to the individual weaver.

This vintage Boujad rug features coloured bands of mottled pink, faded tangerine, sage green and smokey mauve. Its design features artistic tribal motifs; two large diamonds (widely believed to symbolise the warding off of evil spirits) surrounded by smaller abstract tribal motifs, whose true symbology we will likely never know – and that’s the magic and appeal with these pieces. Highly collectible!

A MESSAGE FROM OUR BUYER: We would really love these to go as they were created and intended to be – together (as a pair) to the same house. This is an incredible opportunity to acquire some very special Moroccan folk art.
