On the Design:
This piece enjoys a lush high pile with polychromatic primitivist Berber geometric chevron patterns made by intersecting colors. Its pile is lush and textural, with a natural, comfortable feel like the best pieces of its provenance. Connoisseurs will further admire this as an exemplary piece of the playful, bright nature and textural beauty that makes Moroccan tribal rugs so collectible and versatile today. The technique and material of this piece connote the time-honored boucherouite style, in which Moroccan weavers used fabric, such as clothing or even remnants of other textiles, in place of wool, yielding a fabulous textural look and playful piece everytime.
Among its many inherent beauties is that no two pieces are the same and they’re as much pieces of history and glimpses into the lives of nomadic weavers as they are charming, bright rugs with versatile applications today
Condition:
This vintage Azilal Moroccan Boucherouite rug enjoys great condition for its age and origin. less
