Title:
Guergour
Description:
Guergour rugs are traditional Algerian rugs that originated in the region of Guergour, located in the province of Batna, in eastern Algeria. These rugs are known for their unique patterns, which are typically made up of geometric shapes and bold colors such as red, black, and white.
Guergour rugs are hand-woven using a special technique that involves weaving knots around vertical warp threads. This technique results in a dense, sturdy rug that can withstand heavy use. The wool used to make Guergour rugs is typically sourced from local sheep and is hand-spun into yarn before being dyed using natural plant-based dyes.
