Rare Vintage Boujaad Rug – Museum-Worthy Desert Tones & Symbolic Abundance

Circa 1960s–1970s · Handwoven in the Haouz Region, Morocco
One-of-a-kind Collector’s Piece

This exceptional Boujaad rug is not simply vintage — it is a highly collectible work of Amazigh textile art.

Handwoven by Berber women artisans in the 20th century, this piece embodies the rare balance between symbolic richness and chromatic sophistication. Its terracotta base, softened by time, is illuminated by oxidized emerald and sage-green motifs — tones that only decades of natural aging can create.

This patina cannot be manufactured.
It can only be inherited.

✧ A Composition of Cultural Memory

The central diamond medallion anchors the rug with strength and protection — a powerful Amazigh symbol of femininity and continuity. Surrounding it, an extraordinary field of smaller ancestral motifs creates a tapestry of encoded stories: fertility, protection, nature, harmony.

Unlike more minimal Boujaads, this piece is densely symbolic — a sign of artistic confidence and narrative depth.

It reads less like décor and more like a woven manuscript.

✧ Chromatic Rarity & Aged Pigment

The subtle oxidation of the green dyes against the warm clay-toned ground gives this rug a rare mineral quality — almost fresco-like in appearance.

The colors are neither loud nor faded — they are matured.

Under changing light, the surface reveals tonal shifts and layered texture, making it a living piece within a space.

This is the kind of rug that interior designers source for statement homes, boutique hotels, or curated architectural projects.

✧ Texture, Weight & Presence

Boujaad rugs are known for their supple wool and flexible structure, but this piece carries a stronger presence due to its dense pattern field and grounded palette.

It holds a room without overwhelming it.
It adds history without heaviness.

Ideal for:

Collector-led interiors
Mediterranean or wabi-sabi aesthetics
Contemporary spaces needing warmth with credibility

✧ A True Investment Piece

As a genuine mid-20th-century textile, subtle irregularities and tonal variations are part of its authenticity — visible traces of hand-knotting and natural dyes.

No two Boujaads of this complexity and chromatic harmony appear alike.

Once placed in a private collection, another with this exact balance of pigment, symbolism, and aging will not surface again.

Boucherouite rugs:

Boucherouite rugs have the advantage of being washable with soap and water. Although it is true that domestic washing machines normally do not support so much weight of a wet rug, there are laundries with industrial machines adapted to this kind of weight. If you decide to hand wash it at home, just make sure that it is well rinsed and dried in the sun very well!

Beni ourain rugs / Azilal rugs:

For this type of rugs made of 100% natural untreated sheep's wool, you can vacuum it frequently, you just have to avoid rotating brushes. The first few days you may notice that your rug is shedding wool into balls and that the vacuum bag fills up quickly. This is a normal process that after a few days will stabilize.
Our tip for a home cleaning with natural products is to make a mixture with baking soda and coarse salt, spread the mixture on the rug and let it act for one or two hours, and vacuum well. The bicarbonate serves to neutralize and disinfect naturally and the salt drags away any dust deposited on the rug.

It is recommended that in the season of more sun, you take advantage to air the rug and give it the sun.

For small liquid stains (coffee, wine, tea ... etc) act immediately by applying directly the mixture of baking soda and salt (a small pile on), let it act for about 30 minutes, and vacuum! This mixture makes it absorb the liquids.

For a complete and deep cleaning, we recommend for any type of wool rug, to contact a specialized professional.

Vintage rugs:

Vintage rugs are delicate pieces, and that is why we recommend cleaning with the vacuum cleaner in soft mode, and for a deep cleaning better take it to a professional.

How do I save my rug?

If you wish to save your Berber rug for a season, you can do so by rolling it up and sprinkling a mixture of baking soda, salt and lavender flowers on it in a closed cotton bag.

The baking soda acts as an odour neutralizer and disinfectant, the lavender flowers act as a natural insect repellent and give a pleasant aroma during the time it is rolled up. The salt will help you to drag this mixture when you vacuum it up the moment you are going to use it again!
