{"product_id":"bougainvillea-pink-vintage-moroccan-rag-rug-3x5","title":"Bougainvillea (3'2\" x 4'8\") – Authentic Vintage Moroccan Rag Rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eFuchsia, and a great deal of it. Against that pink the weaver stacked diamond after diamond — a mustard yellow one at the top ringed in cream and purple, two mottled brown ones edged in blue, a black one with a cream heart, two red ones below. A band of deep navy cuts across the middle like a horizon line. Nothing is centred, nothing repeats, and the whole thing works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cem\u003eboucherouite\u003c\/em\u003e — a rag rug, and the name comes from a Moroccan Arabic phrase meaning a scrap torn from used clothing. When wool was scarce or too costly, weavers made rugs from what they had: offcuts, worn garments, salvaged cloth. Look closely and you can see it. Some sections are dense and soft, others coarser and more open, because the materials changed as the weaver worked. Even the fringe is made of mixed rag strips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRugs like this were born of necessity and are now collected as folk art. No dye lot produced this palette and no mill could reproduce it — which is exactly the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe buy pieces like this because we would rather sell one honest, irregular, human-made rug than a hundred flawless machine copies. It was made by hand in Morocco, it has already lived a life, and there is not another one anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRug Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e IC-2449\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3'2\" x 4'8\" (0.97m x 1.42m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-knotted on a traditional loom in Morocco — no machine work at any stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Moroccan rag rug (Boucherouite), stacked diamond composition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fuchsia pink, navy, black, cream, mustard, purple, red, brown, teal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePile:\u003c\/strong\u003e High and shaggy, with texture varying between sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFringe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original mixed-colour rag fringe at both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e A genuine one-of-a-kind vintage piece.
