{"product_id":"moss-olive-green-vintage-moroccan-rug-5x9","title":"Moss (4'10\" x 9'2\") – Authentic Vintage Moroccan Rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eOlive green, from one edge to the other — and if you have looked for a vintage Moroccan rug in green before, you will know how rarely one appears. Red, cream and natural brown are the colours this weaving tradition returns to again and again. A plain field of deep moss green, at this scale, is an unusual thing to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not a flat colour. Look down its length and it moves — lightening toward sage in places, deepening to a bronzed khaki in others, drifting in soft horizontal bands. This is \u003cem\u003eabrash\u003c\/em\u003e, the record of wool dyed in small batches over the weeks the rug took to finish, each lot a shade off the last. On a plain field it becomes the whole composition, and it is the reason a hand-dyed rug looks alive where a machine-dyed one looks flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pile does the rest. It is deep, dense and genuinely soft — the kind of shag you notice underfoot before you notice with your eyes. And the colour could hardly be more current: olive and khaki are everywhere in interiors right now, but almost always in new production. This is the real thing, already decades old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe buy rugs like this because we would rather sell one honest, irregular, human-made piece than a hundred flawless machine copies. It was hand-knotted 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-2472\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4'10\" x 9'2\" (1.47m x 2.79m)\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 rug — plain saturated field, undecorated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olive green shifting between lighter sage and bronzed khaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, dense, plush shag\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFringe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original cream fringe at one end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e A genuine one-of-a-kind vintage piece.
