Vintage Boujaad Rug – Vibrant Saffron Field & Ancestral Symbolism

Circa 1960s–1970s · Handwoven in the Haouz Region, Morocco

This striking Boujaad rug is a powerful example of mid-20th-century Amazigh textile artistry.

Its dominant saffron-orange field radiates warmth and vitality — somewhere between burnt orange, pumpkin, and deep marigold. The color is bold yet softened by time, creating a saturated but mature presence.

At the center, a large diamond medallion in deep forest green and dark brown anchors the composition — a traditional Amazigh symbol of protection, femininity, and continuity.

✧ A Field of Living Symbols

Inside and around the central diamond, the surface is alive with small tribal motifs woven in green, burgundy, ivory, black, and muted rose tones.

You’ll notice:

Floral-like stars and rosettes
Protective talismanic shapes
Abstract plant forms
Small animal-inspired figures
Geometric guardians within the border

The outer frame is structured with repeated rectangular symbols, creating a protective perimeter — almost like architectural columns surrounding the field.

The bottom section introduces a secondary diamond and smaller repeating lozenges, reinforcing balance and symmetry.

This is a narrative composition — not random decoration.

✧ Chromatic Contrast & Depth

The orange base is intensified by deep green outlines that form the central diamond and vertical axis. The green has slightly oxidized over time, creating subtle tonal variation that shifts under natural light.

The contrast between warm terracotta and cool forest green gives the rug energy and dimension.

This is a confident palette — expressive but harmoniously balanced.

✧ Texture & Presence

Woven in Atlas wool, the pile is medium and supple, offering warmth and softness underfoot while maintaining visual structure.

The fringe and border detailing remain well defined, reinforcing its authenticity as a true vintage textile.

It doesn’t simply decorate a room — it transforms it.

✧ A Genuine One-of-a-Kind Piece

As a handwoven vintage rug, slight asymmetries and tonal variations are part of its identity — visible proof of human craftsmanship and natural dyes.

Each symbol was placed intentionally by the artisan.
Each color carries the trace of time.
No two Boujaad rugs are ever identical.

This is not trend-driven design.
It is heritage expressed in wool.

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!
