For your consideration is a Antique Moroccan Boujad Hand-woven Rug, 1940-1950's. The Boujad is a hand-woven Moroccan wool rug, traditionally made by the women of the Atlas Mountains. Moroccan antique rugs are known for their colorful, geometric designs and are often used as floor coverings or wall hangings. The Moroccan rugs were originally made by Amazigh people who used them to decorate their homes and protect their floors from the cold mountain winters. The Atlas Mountains in Morocco are home to the Amazigh, also known as the Berbers, an indigenous people with a rich culture and traditions. The sheep they raise have adapted to the region's high altitude and rugged terrain. Their thick and durable wool has proven effective in the wild, protecting the sheep in harsh environments. As a result, the same proven wool is passed down to the benefit of the herder and his tribes people, nurturing the blessed material with incredible effort and transforming it into a beautiful and unique handmade rug to be passed down from generations onward. This rug features a diamond-shaped central medallion surrounded by geometric motifs in diamond and hexagonal shapes with a triple border of separate geometric designs. Soft pastel colours of blue, purple, and pink with black are interspersed against a salmon colour field. The rug is in nice condition overall. Measures 130"L x 63"W*
