Decorage with timeless elegance with the Amethyst Sunset Beni Mguild Rug, a piece that embodies the rich heritage of Moroccan textiles. Unlike many modern adaptations, this rug remains true to its origins, showcasing colors that have not been altered since the time of its creation estimated around 80 years ago. The Amethyst Sunset Rug, carefully chosen by our experts, is a celebration of authentic Moroccan craftsmanship and the unaltered beauty of traditional Beni Mguild rugs.

Key Features of the Amethyst Sunset Beni Mguild Rug:

Unaltered Authenticity: The hand-knotted Amethyst Sunset Rug showcases its original dark purplish blue hues, unmodified since it was woven. This rare feature honors the genuine artistry and traditional techniques of Beni Mguild weavers, ensuring that this rug is a true reflection of its historical origins. Despite its estimated 80-year age, and evolution of the dyes over time, the colors remain vibrant and captivating.

Exceptional Condition: This particular specimen appears to have been very minimally used and is in very good condition. Our experts have not detected any holes or repairs.

Robust Craftsmanship: Originating from the cold regions of the Middle Atlas Mountains, Beni Mguild rugs are renowned for their durability and sturdiness. The Amethyst Sunset Rug is no exception, offering a heavy, well-made piece that is both practical and beautiful. This rug is large in size and ideal for areas with foot traffic, such as a large living room.

Traditional Patterns: Featuring the characteristic diamond patterns and intricate geometric designs, the Amethyst Sunset Rug reflects the symbolic motifs that tell the cultural stories of the Beni Mguild tribe. Each piece is a testament to the weaver's skill and creativity.

Heritage Weaving: Hand-knotted with wool by Berber women from the Ait M'Guild tribe, these rugs are crafted in the heart of the Atlas Mountains, specifically from Ait Ouhammou, running from the high Moulouya valley to the south of Meknes. This meticulous process ensures each rug is unique and steeped in tradition.

Unique Artistry: The unique bold colors and tightly woven pile of the Amethyst Sunset Rug add style and texture to any space. The central composition, surrounded by borders, showcases the weaver’s attention to detail and artistic expression, making this rug a distinctive piece of art. The tassels, traditionally only on one side to signify the weaver continuing their art, are quite short on authentic Beni Mguild specimen. Although it appears so pristine, it is absolutely hand-woven and meticulously cared for nearly a century.

Accurate Representation: At Haute Globetrot, we are committed to providing accurate and detailed information about our products. Unlike other sources that may miscategorize rugs, we ensure that each rug is authentically represented, maintaining the integrity of this traditional craft.

Key Differences of the Amethyst Sunset Specimen:

  • Natural Dye: The dark purplish blue hues are derived from all-natural dyes.

  • Size: Wide, yet medium in size, making it versatile for various spaces. This rug will do best in a larger space.

  • Short Tassel Length: Extremely short tassels typical of the region add to its distinctiveness.
