Title: Beni M'Guild Vintage Berber Rug Description: This is a unique, rare and sought-after antique rug, hard to find these days. Beni M' Guild rugs are the preferred choice of connoisseurs, decorators and interior designers. Beni Mguild is a Berber tribe of the Sanhaja branch. This tribe originated in the Sahara and, since the end of the Middle Ages, has been advancing northwest through the Middle Atlas, finally occupying this territory at the end of the 19th century. Beni Mguild carpets are very well maintained, having been passed down through several generations. Made during the sometimes harsh winter months, Beni M'Guild rugs, originally used for daily needs, are one of the main sources of warmth and insulation in the homes of Berber tribes. The signature in yellow "FATIMA", Fatima would have been the Berber woman who wove this carpet or the woman who received it as a gift. Each rug has imperfections and an irregular Abrash appearance, as it was made by hand in the olden days. The shades on this one are only due to the passage of time. In fact, some marks and traces of wear and tear are part of its charm, and bear witness to its history. You can be sure that you're buying a timeless, authentic and traditional piece.Origin (City & Country):Maroc Year: Approximate estimate 1989 Ã 1994Size/ Format: 4,59 pi x 2,62 piMaterial:Wool on wool
