Out of the Blue

Out of the Blue

Like a gentle embrace, we love blue in our homes because it whispers of lazy days watching clouds drift across summer skies and peaceful moments by the ocean’s edge. This colour brings the serenity of nature indoors, turning our spaces into peaceful sanctuaries. When blue surrounds us, it feels like a deep breath of fresh air, helping us unwind and find our calm in a busy world.

Vintage Beni Mguild tribe rugs from the Moroccan Middle Atlas Mountains are famous for their rich monochromatic tones, lanolin-rich wool, and exceptional sturdiness. This particular rug features indigo-dyed wool, which is rare and valuable. Jewish artisans exclusively performed indigo dyeing until the mid-20th century. Thus, older examples like this one are increasingly challenging to find. These rugs are notable for their stunning abrash and blue colour gradations, giving them timeless beauty. The slightly larger size, uncommon for this type, makes this carpet highly desirable for modern interiors. It adds a unique touch to any space.

This authentic old Berber rug was woven by the Beni M’Guild tribal confederacy in the Middle Atlas Mountains. The region is renowned for its diamond-pattern sheep wool rugs and authentic indigo blue vegetable dye.

This rare example displays a beautiful indigo-blue field with various colour gradations, creating a blissful visual impression. The delicate diamond pattern, traced in ivory tones, creates a well-balanced and elegant design. The relatively large format makes this rug highly useful for interior decoration.
