Melange
THIS RUG'S STORY:
Melange is an incredibly rare work of art by the Ait Bou Ichoauen tribe. This historically nomadic Ait Bou Ichaouen tribe is known for their artful and meaningful pieces. They no longer weave rugs, and their pieces are extremely hard to source in Morocco. I've had this rug in my possession for 7 years before deciding to list it for sale. It is truly a one of a kind collector's piece, and its next owner will be extremely lucky to have it.
ABOUT MOROCCAN RUGS:
Each vintage Moroccan rug is hand woven and knotted by Berber women of the tribal region specified. This level of craftsmanship can take up to weeks or months to complete a single rug. Weaving techniques have been passed down through the generations. The patterns, designs, and colors in each rug vary with each rug, weaver, and tribe – so each piece is truly a unique work of art and 2 pieces will never be the same. Often these rugs have been handed down through the families who created them, and have been uncovered from the mountain and rural areas of Morocco.
