This expressive pile rug is a classic example of Boujaad craftsmanship from the Haouz region of Morocco. Distinguished by its warm, autumnal palette and looser, more intuitive geometry compared to the rigid flatweaves of the Atlas, this piece exudes a cozy, organic charm. The composition is built upon a deep, oxidized rust and terracotta field, overlayed with a network of concentric diamond medallions in varying shades of saffron yellow, amber, and sandy beige.

The weaving technique utilizes a hand-knotted wool pile, creating a surface that is soft, textured, and inviting to the touch. Unlike flatweaves, this rug offers cushion and warmth, making it ideal for bedroom or living room placements where comfort is key. The design features traditional Berber lozenge motifs, symbolizing protection and the continuity of life, framed by a complex border that mimics the architectural patterns found in tribal kasbahs.

Visually, the rug possesses a “vintage” character with its harmonious, earthy color transitions. The irregularities in the diamond shapes reveal the hand of the weaver, ensuring no two knots are exactly alike. It strikes a balance between tribal authenticity and decorative warmth, easily complementing bohemian, rustic, or eclectic modern interiors.
