The area of Boujaad is known for their free form rugs and daring use of colours. Weavers here are less traditional than for example in the High or Middle Atlas Mountains, where weavers tend to be more traditional. Berber rugs are knows for their simple designs, usually lozenges, or a free flow geometric design. Rugs were made for domestic use and as such a simple design was often preferred instead of more elaborate designs. In this case a colourful geometric design has been used in mixed non animal materials on a background of bright pink shades in wool.   Handwoven rugs This Moroccan Boujaad rug is handwoven by artisan weavers. Typical for handmade rugs is that they do not necessarily have perfect symmetrical designs. They have imperfections in design and this is also part of the charm of handwoven rugs and what makes every rug unique. In this case the rug is handwoven with a free flow geometric design on a pink wool background. the pile of wool is low to medium in height and soft tot touch.   Tribal rugs This  Moroccan Berber rug in pink is a piece of folk art! Rug making is a female activity and it forms an integral part of the Berber communities. Knowledge and skills are passed on from one generation to the next , from mother to daughter. Skills are acquired by observation and practice and require self discipline. This means that every rag rug is not only a truly unique piece of art but also highly personalised through the weavers choice of colours and motifs.   Size and shape This Moroccan Berber runner in pink has a medium size 100cm wide and 190cm long. I would work well next to a bed or in a corridor or hallway. If you are in doubt about what size you ideally need, please find here some guidelines to help you make the right decision.   Materials and texture  This Moroccan Boujaad rug in pink is handwoven with a flexible handle and soft semi low wool pile height.     Age This Moroccan Berber rug in pink is vintage. It has a low height pile and is handmade with mixed materials and wool.   Underlay  This Moroccan Berber rug has a good weight to it and flexible handle. Depending on the underfloor you may wish to add an underlay. “Underlay makes SUCH a difference not only in keeping the rug in place but also in making it feel much nicer to walk on.”   Maintaining and caring for your rug This Moroccan Berber rug in pink is relatively low maintenance and only requires and occasional vacuum clean. It is best to vacuum it on a lower setting and make sure you also do the reverse now and then as just as much dust accumulates there, as on the front. Furthermore, it is sensible to give your rug a good shake outside every couple of months.   Stain treatment The quicker you deal with spills, the less chance there is of it staining. The effective way to treat a spill, for example red wine, is to apply water to begin with to dilute the stain, followed by mopping it with a kitchen towel straight away. Start from the outside of the stain and work inwards to limit the affected area, but do not rub the stain as this can damage the yarn. Once a carpet gets wet, it is important to dry it out thoroughly afterwards, to prevent the wool from rotting. Don’t use any bleach or chemical treatments as they might take the stain out, but leave a white stain instead. When in doubt, professional carpet cleaning will always remain the best choice.
