Description
This authentic Glaoui carpet is a masterpiece of Moroccan craftsmanship, uniquely combining three traditional weaving techniques: knotted pile, tapestry work, and flat-weave panels arranged in beautifully balanced geometric windows.
This rare blend of methods is what makes Glaoui rugs so special woven, knotted, and embroidered in a single piece.
Handmade by Berber women, the threads are stretched, doubled, and knotted with precision, creating a dense structure and a double-sided, fully reversible rug. The wool is naturally dyed using traditional pigments such as mascara stone, poppy flowers, pomegranate peel, henna, and natural undyed wool tones, giving each rug its warm, earthy palette.
A true Amazigh artwork filled with symbolic motifs and ancestral patterns, perfect for adding authenticity, texture, and cultural depth to any interior.
