Rug Details
One-of-a-kind gently used rug — only one in stock!
100% wool
Dimensions: 3'10" x 5'3" (118 cm x 159 cm)
Plush pile: approximately 0.8" (2 cm)
Color palette: cream, silvery gray, seafoam green, bubblegum pink, electric blue
These rugs are prized for their expressive design and construction. Their freeform edges meander and wiggle, unbound by constrictions of mass production
Curator's Notes
Motifs
Moroccan rugs don’t come with a key. As with any painting or poem, their motifs have many subjective interpretations. Originally made for personal use, these rugs took months to weave, documenting a shifting tide of events and emotions in the weaver’s life
An absolute classic, diamond-based designs create a beautiful and dynamic field of geometric shapes
Region of Origin
Azilal rugs typically have abstract, painterly designs, and are similar to rugs from Ourika. These pieces can be distinguished by their bright colors, facilitated by the use of cotton in addition to wool.
Material Details
Wool, a staple in Moroccan rug design, was considered almost sacred to the Amazigh (Berber) people, whose nomadic lifestyle included sheep and goat herding. In addition to being available, wool is durable, long-lasting, and soft—so it’s super comfy to walk and relax on. In this piece, the wool pile is knotted onto a wool foundation, adding body and helping it hug the floor.
