{"product_id":"sultan-red-vintage-moroccan-rug-7x10","title":"Sultan (6'8\" x 9'8\") – Authentic Vintage Moroccan Rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome rugs are quiet. This one is not, and it does not want to be. A deep madder-red field is divided into a lattice of large diamonds, and then every diamond — and every scrap of ground between them — is filled, completely, with fine tribal detail: small hooks, crosses, stars, diamonds and flecks in ivory, saffron, aubergine and black. The eye never finds a plain patch to rest on. The density of the work is the whole point, and it is extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDown the centre, larger stepped medallions rise out of the pattern, each closing on a small hooked heart. A strong multi-band border frames the field on all four sides — the outer row a grid of little compartmented Berber crosses, the inner bands zigzag and diamond work. Nothing about this rug was rushed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 6'8\" by 9'8\" it is the largest and most substantial piece in this collection, and finely enough knotted to hold detail this small across that much ground. This is the kind of rug a room is built around, not one added at the end — a genuine showpiece, hand-woven by someone at the height of their craft.\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-2478\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6'8\" x 9'8\" (2.03m x 2.95m)\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, Middle Atlas (Zayane \/ Beni M'Guild) — all-over dense diamond field with a multi-band border\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep madder red with ivory, saffron orange, aubergine purple, black and pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-high, plush, finely knotted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFringe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original braided fringe at both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e A genuine one-of-a-kind vintage piece.

It sits richly with walnut, brass, deep green and cream, glows against white or plaster walls, and reads as classic rather than trend-driven. In a room of antiques it belongs completely; in a modern one it becomes a deliberate, confident hit of colour and history.\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.
