Rug Details
One-of-a-kind vintage rug — only one in stock!
100% wool
Dimensions: 6'7" x 10'7" (200 cm x 322 cm)
Plush pile: approximately 0.8" (2 cm)
Color palette: cream, walnut brown, pale sage gray, chartreuse
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 Originally made for personal use, these rugs took months to weave, documenting a shifting tide of events and emotions in the weaver’s life
Artisanal and tribal, geometric designs feature angular edges and simple shapes—like diamonds, squares, lattices, and stylized animals
Region of Origin
Rabat, founded in the 12th century, became Morocco’s capital after the French invaded in 1912. Rugs woven here, as in most Moroccan cities, are more reminiscent of Turkish rugs in their design and weaving technique, often featuring a central medallion.
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.
Moroccan wool is locally sourced and produces a thick, strong pile that feels soft underfoot. Having stood the test of time, this hand-processed wool has reacted to its various environments, acquiring an untamed, nubby look and feel.
