Moroccan Vintage Beni M'Guild Rug 370x185cm
The Beni M'Guild crafted dense, symbolic rugs to withstand the harsh winters of the Atlas Mountains. Their deep, all-natural colors are derived from nature, with dyes made from plants, mushrooms, and roots. The intricate symbols woven into these rugs reflect the original Berber language and serve as a form of self-expression, exploring themes of fertility, birth, life, and death.
The name Beni M’Guild refers to a group of tribes that were once part of a larger confederation called Oumalou, meaning “people of the shadow.” This name originates from their homeland—the northern slopes of the High Atlas—where towering peaks cast long shadows. Over time, the Beni M’Guild migrated westward to the Middle Atlas, settling in regions abundant with summer pastures.
