Vintage Handwoven Moroccan Double Sided Amazigh Beni M’Guild Rug
A rare double-sided vintage Moroccan Amazigh rug from the Middle Atlas mountain region of Khenifra. Woven with remarkable versatility, each side offers a completely different aesthetic, allowing the rug to be enjoyed in two distinct ways. One face features a short, abrashed pile with softly shifting shades of pink, woven with subtle striations and accented by geometric motifs in warm orange and natural undyed wool. The reverse is knotted with a deep, luxurious pile, creating a beautifully mottled composition of cream, charcoal, and blush pink that evokes an almost abstract, animal-like pattern with a distinctly contemporary feel.
Finished with vibrant pink tassels at either end, this is an unusually versatile piece that can be styled according to the mood of a room. Its practical size makes it equally suited to a living space, bedroom, or reading nook, where the rich texture and naturally handwoven character bring warmth, softness, and individuality. Few Amazigh rugs offer such contrasting personalities within a single textile, making this a particularly special example.
With acknowledgement and gratitude for the woman weaver who conceptualised and crafted this unique item. Please take the time to discover more about the Amazigh ('Berber') weaving tradition here.
