Chiama
THIS RUG'S STORY:
This rug was woven by the Chiadma people, a tribe that resides close to the coastal area of Essaouira in Morocco.
Chiama's bold colors, soft pile, and interesting abstract pattern is what instantly drew me in. That show-stopping purple with hints of bright blue and the yellow tassels - what a combo! Truly a spectacular collector's piece.
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: Bold fuchsia w/ white , hints of aqua, and yellow tassels. Hand knotted wool and goats hair combo.
