Description
A royal Amazigh rug combining weaving, knotting & tapestry
The Glaoui carpet is one of the most prestigious creations of the High Atlas—originally crafted for the Pacha family, known as the “kings of Southern Morocco.”
What makes a Glaoui rug exceptional is its rare combination of three weaving techniques:
Knotted points
Tapestry work
Flat weaving arranged in geometric windows
Each piece is entirely handmade, showcasing the full breadth of Amazigh textile art. It is woven, knotted, and embroidered, a level of complexity few rug styles achieve.
Berber artisans stretch the wool threads, double them, and knot them together—a technique historically used to create sturdy bags for long mountain journeys. This craftsmanship is reflected in the Glaoui rug’s durability and strength.
Colored using natural tones inspired by plants, minerals, and spices, the wool retains a warm, authentic character. The design is rich with Amazigh symbols and letters, turning the rug into a cultural and artistic story.
