Vintage Boujad Moroccan Wool Rugs Carpet Handmade Berber Tapis Area
Item History & Price
These rugs were not woven for commercial or profit-making purpose, but only for home use to cope with the rough high Atlas cold. Currently, in Western countries, in addition to Boujad regular use as rugs, they are widely introduced in interior decoration as beautiful wall ornaments or design elements.
Fruits of weavers’ imagination and genuine works of art, comparable to abstract paintings, Azilal rugs are rare and were almost... unknown in the market until the years 90. From Paris to USA and Tokyo, many galleries exhibit Azilal rugs as works of art. Their originality and immense strength in terms of graphics have deeply inspired artists such as Matisse, Paul Klee and Le Corbusier.
