Twelve bands of colour, stacked one on another like bolts of cloth in a Marrakech souk — ice blue, crimson, coral, mustard, olive and a deep oxblood at the base. Across every band, small eight-point stars and crosses are scattered in contrasting shades: cornflower blue, moss green, rose, cream. These are Berber protective symbols, and the weaver placed them by eye, never in quite the same rhythm twice.

This is a rag rug in the truest sense. Rather than a single dyed lot, the weaver worked with the yarns she had — reclaimed, gathered, saved — which is exactly why the palette moves the way it does. Decades on, those colours have softened into something no new rug can imitate.

We 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, it has already lived a life, and there is not another one anywhere.

Details

  • Rug Number: IC-2445
  • Size: 4'8" x 6'2" (1.42m x 1.88m)
  • Construction: Hand-knotted on a traditional loom in Morocco — no machine work at any stage
  • Style: Vintage Moroccan rag rug (Boucherouite tradition), banded polychrome design
  • Colours: Crimson, coral, mustard, ice blue, sage, olive, burgundy, cream
  • Fringe & apron: Listed dimensions reflect the piled portion only. This rug features a fringe and apron of up to 6" on each end, adding up to 12" to the total length
  • Authenticity: A genuine one-of-a-kind vintage piece. Irregularities in line, symbol placement, colour depth and gentle wear are inherent to a hand-woven rug of this age — they are the evidence it is real
  • Availability: One of one. Once this rug sells, it cannot be reordered or reproduced
  • Care: Professionally washed before dispatch and ready to use on arrival

Where it works

At 4'8" x 6'2" this is a smaller mid-size rug — the size that works hardest in the rooms people actually live in, rather than the ones they photograph.

  • Bedroom: Beside the bed as a landing spot, or across the foot of a queen
  • Entryway: Generous enough to hold a console and greet the room with colour
  • Reading corner: Grounds an armchair, side table and floor lamp
  • Home office: Sits under a desk without swallowing the room
  • Layering: Reads beautifully as a colour block over jute, sisal or a plain wool base

Palette notes: With crimson, coral, mustard, ice blue, sage and burgundy all in play, this rug wants a quiet surround — white or plaster walls, natural oak, linen, cane. Give it a calm room and it becomes the entire scheme.

Questions about this piece

This is a single vintage rug, so what you see is what exists — it cannot be remade, resized or reordered. If you would like additional photographs, detail shots of the weave or fringe, or a closer look at condition before presenting it to a client, we are happy to send them. Trade enquiries are always welcome.
