Did you know? The Margoum is a type of rug that is only made in Tunisia. It is a city rug handmade by the craftswomen from the cities of Kairouan, El Jem and Oudhref.
The margoum is a rug both woven and embroidered which gives it a smooth appearance decorated with reliefs. The mixture of its wool weft and cotton warp makes it a rigid and solid rug.
The margoums are always decorated with diamond-shaped motifs which symbolize fertility. However, there are no two identical margoums.
