Handwoven And Hand Knotted Vintage Pile Tribal Boucherouite Rug Green 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.

Colors: aqua-teal, dark marine blue, accents in chalky-peach, marigold, bright citrine yellow, cream, bright pink, black and more. Use in a low traffic area of the house or beautiful hung on the wall.
