Beni M'Guild Rugs
Beni M’Guild rugs are renowned for their high quality and the bold, vibrant use of color. In many rugs, details blend into the background, revealing themselves differently depending on the angle of view. This quality gives Beni M’Guild rugs a unique sense of depth and dimensionality.
While many Beni M’Guild rugs feature richly colored patterns, there are also monochromatic versions where the design is woven into the structure itself. In these, the pattern is often subtle and more visible from the underside of the rug.
A distinctive feature of Beni M’Guild rugs is their recognizable and expressive Berber symbolism, which is repeated throughout the tribe’s weaving tradition. The colors are typically deep and luminous—common hues include purple, indigo, lavender, pink, sand, green, deep red, and orange.
These rugs are usually made with densely tied symmetrical and Berber knots, and they have a long, plush pile. Beni M’Guild rugs originate from the Middle Atlas region of Morocco.
