AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage Beni Mguild rug, hand-knotted by the weavers of the Moroccan Middle Atlas. A truly exceptional piece, both for its very large format and for the remarkable density of its pattern, a rarity at these dimensions.
The field is adorned with a deep burgundy-purple, sumptuous and warm, entirely gridded with juxtaposed diamonds. Each compartment contains its own motif, stars, diamonds, rosettes and Berber symbols, in a profusion of details enhanced with orange, pink, ivory and saffron. This richness of composition, where no diamond looks quite like the next, testifies to long and meticulous weaving work, and to real mastery. The patina of time unifies the whole in deep and velvety tones, signature of the finest vintage pieces.
With its 4.50 meters in length, it is a rug of ceremony, made to suit a large living room and to bring warmth, depth and character, in a bohemian, vintage, eclectic or contemporary interior.
Fringes twisted at the ends.
