Moroccan rugs are created by the Berber tribes of the Atlas Mountains. These authentic tribal pieces have been produced by these nomadic people since at least the 6th century AD. They were originally used tent walls and as flooring and bedding.

In earlier centuries, the long pile side was used facing downward for warmth. Now, we enjoy them with the pile-side facing upwards as a soft landing for our feet. The climate of the Atlas Mountains creates the perfect environment for growing wool that is long, soft, and that is long-lasting.

The rugs were woven by the women of the tribe. The designs and motifs have meaning and serve as a type of storytelling. It was a way to keep the stories and traditions alive throughout the generations. The women are true artists and the rugs are their canvas. Each one is a unique piece of self-expression.

The saturated color of this rug would be perfect for a luxurious Boudoir-style room. Rooms that use intense colors and soft designs are popular for many different styles of contemporary décor. This piece will create a casual and relaxing atmosphere in the room.

If your style if a bit on the eclectic side, this rug will serve as inspiration for creating a space that expresses your unique personality. Midcentury designers loved these rugs as a way to add a casual touch to a formal, streamlined design. Now, they fit into a wide range of modern design styles.
