This authentic vintage rug from the Beni Mguild tribe is probably one of my favorite at the moment!
I love how the bright red on half of the rug subtly turns to a warm purple, then a lighter red and orange. The colors are original and have not been artificially faded. The pattern is the classic series of diamonds/lozenges, with tiny vegetal signs into each of them, coming in cream, orange and green. On both extremities the design is a little different and shows series of that amazigh symbol called "mechbouh".
This rug is quite thick and heavy, handmade 100% with high quality ship wool and is a high pile.
Approximate dimensions are 6.5x11.6feet / 198x355cm (+tiny tassels).
The rug has not been cut and comes in its original shape. Both endings where fixed though, one was straightened and the opposite shows brand new tassels.
IMPORTANT: Again, this rug is real vintage, meaning that it was made first for a private use, not directly for the market. It was nicely fixed and will come with signs of wear. The most obvious thing to notice are some worn spots in pile (see last close-up picture - I can send extra pictures if needed). That said, the rug is in beautiful vintage condition overall!
I had the rug professionally cleaned prior to shooting and I can confirm that there is no color bleeding concern.
Pictures were taken in my bright and all white studio in Marrakech. They have been edited but colors are accurate. Please take time to check all detailed pictures, so you can see the condition, texture and beautiful colors on this rug!
