{"product_id":"wildflower-pink-vintage-moroccan-flatweave-5x8","title":"Wildflower (4'10\" x 8'0\") – Authentic Vintage Moroccan Flatweave Rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eA field of soft watermelon pink, faded gently with age, and scattered across it rows of eight-point stars — ivory and cream, each one holding a small heart of olive green and rose. Between the star rows run lines of little crossed marks, quieter, in the same soft palette. The rhythm is regular but never mechanical: the stars change size as they go, the spacing wanders, and no two are worked in quite the same colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a flatweave — a \u003cem\u003ehanbel\u003c\/em\u003e — but not a plain one. The ground is woven flat, and then every star and cross is brocaded into it with a supplementary thread, raised slightly proud of the surface so the motifs catch the light and sit almost like embroidery. It is slow, careful work, and it produces a rug far more delicate than a knotted pile piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat stands out most is the mood. Almost everything else from this weaving tradition is bold — saturated reds, strong geometry, high contrast. This is gentle. Rose, cream and sage, soft-edged and pretty, it is the rare vintage Moroccan rug that reads as tender rather than striking.\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-2474\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4'10\" x 8'0\" (1.47m x 2.44m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handwoven flatweave with raised supplementary-weft brocade, made in Morocco — no machine work at any stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Moroccan flatweave (hanbel), brocaded star and cross motifs in rows\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft rose pink ground with ivory, cream and olive green\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flat ground with raised brocade motifs — low profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFringe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original dark red fringe at one end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e A genuine one-of-a-kind vintage piece.
