{"product_id":"firecracker-red-vintage-moroccan-rag-runner-3x6","title":"Firecracker (2'10\" x 6'4\") – Authentic Vintage Moroccan Rag Runner","description":"\u003cp\u003eA narrow band of tomato scarlet, and set into it two diamonds that work like lanterns. The upper one opens outward in turquoise zigzags, then cream, then a fine navy keyline, closing on a magenta heart that is the brightest point on the whole rug. Below it a second diamond, framed in cobalt, holds a dark navy hourglass with turquoise wedges above and below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the wide bands running down each side and you can see how this rug was made. They are woven from a mottled, speckled stock — cream shot through with purple, blue and burgundy — completely different from the smooth scarlet of the centre. This is a \u003cem\u003eboucherouite\u003c\/em\u003e, a rag rug, made from reclaimed cloth rather than a single lot of new yarn. The weaver used what she had, and when the material changed, the rug changed with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven the fringe is rag: long grey strips, still hanging at the base after decades.\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-2454\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2'10\" x 6'4\" (0.86m x 1.93m)\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 runner (Boucherouite), twin diamond medallions with speckled side panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scarlet red, turquoise, cobalt navy, cream, magenta pink, purple, burgundy, grey\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 grey rag fringe at one end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e A genuine one-of-a-kind vintage piece.
