{"product_id":"horizon-blue-striped-vintage-moroccan-flatweave-5x11","title":"Horizon (5'0\" x 10'8\") – Authentic Vintage Moroccan Flatweave Rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eStripes, the full width and the full length — but not quiet ones. Bands of bright cobalt blue alternate with dusty terracotta and deep black, each one edged with a fine scalloped line that softens it into a gentle rick-rack rather than a hard rule. It is bold, rhythmic and, despite being woven decades ago, looks like something a contemporary textile designer might have drawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blue is the thing. Vivid cobalt is uncommon in vintage Moroccan weaving — the tradition leans on red, cream and natural brown — and set against warm terracotta and black it gives this rug a graphic, confident energy that most pieces of its age simply do not have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a flatweave — no pile, woven flat and reversible — so all that colour comes with none of the bulk. It lies flush to the floor, clears doors a shag rug would jam, takes a rolling chair, and is light and simple to keep. At more than ten feet long, that practicality matters: a pile rug this size is a serious thing to handle, and this is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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 woven by hand in Morocco decades ago, it has already lived a life, and there is not another one anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRug Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e IC-2483\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5'0\" x 10'8\" (1.52m x 3.25m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handwoven flatweave, made in Morocco — no machine work at any stage.

The blue keeps it cool enough to work in a room that is not warm-toned, while the terracotta stops it feeling cold. It sits with white and plaster, pale and smoked oak, black metal and natural linen — and in a minimal room it becomes the single graphic gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions about this piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a single vintage rug, so what you see is what exists — it cannot be remade, resized or reordered.
