THIS RUG'S STORY:
Meaning the mountains in Arabic, this stunning Ait Bou Ichoauen rug does not disappoint. It has a rare creamy base, and a lovely combo of mostly neutrals and hints of purple that appear to make almost an abstract mountain design. This is truly a unique one!
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.
COLORS/MATERIALS: Cream, tan, brown, teal, navy, purple, maroon, dark magenta accent, pink accents. Hand knotted cotton & wool mix.
