Moroccan Boujad Rug – 1960s / 1970s – Handwoven Berber Wool Carpet - Rug - 290 cm - 180 cm

This authentic vintage Moroccan Boujad rug originates from the Boujad region in central Morocco and dates from the 1960s–1970s. Entirely handwoven from natural sheep wool, this piece is a strong example of Boujad weaving, known for its bold use of color, symbolic motifs, and expressive compositions. The rug features a rhythmic arrangement of diamond patterns and stylized Berber symbols organized in horizontal registers. The palette is warm and vibrant, dominated by shades of red, orange, terracotta, ochre, and soft beige, with subtle contrasting accents that add depth and visual movement. These colors and motifs are characteristic of vintage Boujad rugs, traditionally woven without strict patterns and guided by the weaver’s intuition. The wool has developed a beautiful natural patina over time, with gentle variations in pile height and tone that reflect decades of use. The composition balances structure and spontaneity, making this rug both decorative and deeply rooted in Berber textile tradition. Interior Use & Styling This Boujad rug works beautifully as a statement piece in a living room, bedroom, or creative interior. Its warm tones complement contemporary, mid-century, bohemian, and eclectic spaces. It can also be displayed as a decorative wall textile.
