THE ORIGINAL WAS THE BERBER CARPET…
If the Berber carpet is very fashionable today, its origins go back several centuries. Hand-woven with sheep's wool by young women from nomadic tribes in North Africa and decorated with motifs, most of the time religious, Berber rugs are generally included in the dowry requested at a wedding. For these people, these are very precious objects. They are therefore very often stored, well protected, so as not to be damaged.
There are a multitude of Berber carpets. Here are some examples:
- the Azilal carpet which has its origins in the High Atlas, a Moroccan mountain range, and is generally composed of a white background on which geometric lines in bright colors are drawn.
- the Zanafi rug which is characterized by the finesse of its weaving and the multiple geometric and often colorful patterns that compose it.
- the Boucherouite rug which is traditionally made from fabric scraps. It is very recognizable thanks to its “oriental patchwork” side that we love.
- the Kilim rug which stands out for its bright colors and very unique diamonds. This rug was originally used as blankets or wall decorations. A handmade creation, symbols full of meaning and a tradition still well anchored, there is no doubt, the Berber carpet is far from being a simple decorative object.
