Handwoven And Hand Knotted Vintage Diamond Pile Tribal Boucherouite Rug Morocco

Boucherouite Rugs. These woven rugs are a fairly recent new folk art form that arose out of a wool shortage in the 60's. Without wool, the weavers reached for whatever was at hand: clothing scraps, tailors remnants and more and more. This vintage hand knotted one-of-a-kind boucherouite was purchased outside of Marrakech. Cotton and mixd fabrics make up the pile rug. This rug would add a shot of color to your decor and would look great as a wall hanging, too. A medley of muted and vibrant colors.
