DESERT ORACLE Boujad Rug | 262 x 156 cm
One-of-a-kind Boujad Rug “Desert Oracle”
Re-used Vintage Wool | Approx. 262 × 156 cm
A richly symbolic tapestry of earth tones and Amazigh artistry — Desert Oracle carries the warmth, mystery, and layered storytelling of Morocco’s southern landscapes. Woven in a palette of terracotta, sandstone, rust, camel, olive green, forest green, charcoal, black, and soft cream, the rug feels like a woven desert horizon at dusk.
Totemic motifs, protective symbols, abstract figures, cactus-like shapes, diamonds, and cross-forms appear throughout, creating a composition that feels ancient yet strikingly modern. The zigzag “mountain range” crowning the top adds a rhythmic architectural touch, grounding the entire piece.
Crafted from re-used vintage wool yet newly hand-knotted, this rug combines the softness and soul of older fibres with the durability of contemporary craftsmanship. Sun-washed hues, irregular patterning, and subtle variations in pile give it the unmistakable charm of true Boujad artistry.
A bold, soulful statement rug — full of history, texture, warmth, and character.
