Abstract Chequerboard Design Vintage Moroccan Berber Rug

About the Item

An unusual Berber rug decorated by an abstract chequerboard pattern in contrasting colours and by a pair of dome-shaped elements in the 'salt-and-pepper' technique. The pile is composed of different materials, ranging from natural materials such as wool and cotton to industrial fibres like rags and lurex, with a fine surface. Both the pattern as well as the 'mixed media' is typical of the rugs originating from the rural areas of Boujad, located in the Moroccan Middle Atlas.
