Arabia rug is handwoven in the Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The geometric movement resumes the typical Arabic forms in a star-shaped interweaving and floral design. Classic Arabia rugs are usually woven by oriental contrasting design. This particular vintage rug will look particularly stunning with some modernist style furniture like under a glass coffee table or with some wood furniture. Arabia rug will also look equally as chic in contemporary or minimalist style homes, giving a more authentic feel and adding another textural dimension to the room.
Besides symbolic meanings, colors also had significance in Berber culture. The main colors used are red which signifies strength and protection, blue denotes wisdom, yellow refers to eternity, green symbolizes peace, and purple means royalty and luxury.
Berber women are the creator of all the famous Moroccan rugs. While they weave a rug, they add always a personal touch by creating designs with strong meaning and story. Based on history, the tribe’s people living in the atlas mountains were in the need of some furniture that will keep them warm during the cold seasons. Since the only resource of living was pasturing, they used sheep fleece for weaving in order to be spun into a yarn that gives birth to rugs. These handwoven rugs are designed with different symbols like the lozenge, lozenge with extended sides, chevron, X-shape, straight line with hatching, triangles, ladders, zigzag, etc… Each one had a meaning for instance lozenge, X-shape, chevron refer to women, and straight lines, sticks, and twig-and-ladder refer to men. Many others carry themes such as birth, protection against the evil eye, a good fortune that holds Baraka, fertility, and magical power. All the symbols have their own signification and were conveyed from weaver to weaver over centuries. This is the reason why it still retains its authenticity.
The sheep wool is known for its resistant structure by producing resilient fibers that retain the shape after stretching or washing. This material has many advantages: it provides warmth, brings softness to your interior, absorbs moisture, and is very resistant to time. With all these features, Moroccan rugs are known as very durable rugs.
Berber women, who are the maneuvering leaders of the Moroccan carpet, spend weeks and sometimes months setting up a carpet. This time is justified by other household and family tasks. In general, the average time of weaving or knotting is two hours per day for each woman.
