The origin of Berber Rugs/carpets date back to the Paleolithic era and were made by Berbers in North Africa. The hand spun cloth they created was named for the tribe, and they used natural fibres to create cloaks, rugs, and other fabrics. They could be made with sheep wool that keeps you warm in window and cool in summer. They could also be found in camel hair and synthetic fibres for people with allergies to animal products.
The term Berber was a name given to the natives of North Africa originally known as Imazighen (Amazigh for singular).
Handmade / homemade Berber carpets are still an active industry in many rural areas of North African countries. Many Berber families gain their daily bread from manufacturing carpets manually and selling them in local markets or even to art merchants and tourists. Traditional Berber carpet is totally different from the modern mass produced berber carpets usually known in the West. They are much more sophisticated and are made of natural materials.
One rug could take months to complete and they are originally made by the Amazigh women. The women write a message on the rug in a shape of belts, each belt contains a message written in Amazigh symbols and characters (Alphabet). That rug will then be offered to their future husband as a promise to their wish of a great marriage and life together. These belts are called “The belt of the Bride”.
All these modern and mass produced Rugs in the west that they call still call “Berber Rugs” have missed this extremely important historical point, which therefore cheapened their quality and rarity. If you ever buy a Berber rug, buy the genuine one made by the Berbers of North Africa, no one else!

I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful pieces you sent me, they are even better then I thought as it is hard sometimes to get the feel from a picture. they are truly exquisite, a master craftsmen work. I was also wondering if I could get the rest of the earrings all 5 pairs of them, as I would like to use them to create something special, is it possible to get the same deal?I understand if not, My mind is thinking of what else I could get :). All the best. take care. Raphael.

Hello Hacène I received my order today. All the objects are lovely, where in good condition, except the wing of the teapot that arrived broken. No big deal, I used some special glu, and its fixed. More: the Portuguese Mail services are going to pay me the value of the teapot, because there was an insurance in the expedition with detailed indication of values.<br> Thanks for your care<br> Thanks for nice hat, <br>my son liked it very much.<Br> Best Regards<br> Maria Mendes
