The "Garden Grid" Boujad: Intricate Vintage Crimson & Moss Green Moroccan Rug

About this piece

Handwoven in the historic town of Boujad, located in the Haouz plains between the Middle Atlas Mountains and the Atlantic coast, this vintage rug is a rare example of structured symmetry. While many Boujad rugs are loved for their whimsical, asymmetrical designs, this masterwork employs a highly sophisticated grid layout—historically woven by only the most experienced master weavers. ​Woven entirely by hand from high-luster, hand-spun sheep's wool, this rug has been naturally aged to achieve a soft, deeply saturated patina. The dominant base color is a rich, warm wine-crimson that shifts beautifully in different lighting. The grid-lines and borders are woven in a striking combination of forest and moss greens, soft cream, and deep espresso brown, creating a frame for the intricate jewel-like orange and saffron diamond medallions. ​
