Nejma Artisan Tunisian Handwoven Rugs by The Rug Weaver (20)
Tunisia has a rich history of weaving rugs. The story goes that in the 19th century, the daughter of the Ottoman governor was the first person, in Kairouan, to weave a carpet using wool to give to one of the city’s mosques. The tradition continued, and Tunisia developed into one of the leading countries in traditional carpet weaving, using techniques that date back centuries. Each of our exquisitely hand loomed rugs is made from 100% premium wool, and can be made in a range of stunning colours and designs. The weaving techniques are the same as those used all those hundreds of years ago, and this is reflected in the beautiful one of a kind creations that you see before you.

Margoum Wool Tunisian Rug (Brown/Cream)
£407.00A beautifully handmade 100% wool rug, with contrasting creams and browns. Decorated with geometric and abstract patterns in a beautiful ensemble of cream and dark reds. What is the Mergoum? The mergoum (or margoum), is a woven floor rug embroidered on a layer of cotton, which gives it a rigid and solid look. The mergoum is typically made in the towns on Oudhref, El Jem and Kairouan in Tunisia using ancient weaving techniques. Our mergoums are handmade in the town of El Jem. The origin of the mergoum is Berber. The diamond shapes that dominate the mergoum rug are called "regma" which symbolises fertility in the Berber culture. Typically, the mergoum is decorated by three types of diamonds or "regma". It is also surrounded by two edges decorated with diverse Berber shapes, such as diamonds, zigzags and triangles. These stunning creations are the work of extraordinary and talented women, who use ancient traditional weaving techniques to create these timeless masterpieces. Through their looms, these women transform the raw wool into the beautiful rugs, such as the one you see before you. -
