About the Item

This Boucherouite runner features an array of open lozenges interspersed with partial diamonds, organized both loosely and in more structured vertical chains. Female V formations are present at the top of the piece, while male zig-zag motifs frame the bottom. Knotted in a heathered brown ground with abrashed pink, cobalt blue, salmon red, and peach composing the motif structure. Wool pile on a cotton warp with hints of multicolored Boucherouite throughout. A common utilitarian rug made in all regions of Morocco woven of recycled cloth, most often cotton clothing and other various fibers. Some of the patterns are more extreme while others take on a more traditional look. Many of the more elaborate colorful examples play a specific role in the Berber home. The Berbers are innately superstitious, and feel wild patterns and vibrant colors can help ward off negative energy and evil spirits. Many Boucherouites can be found in the entryways of homes throughout the region. It is believed that the bright colors and striking patterns confuse the evil eye and prevent the home from taking in unwanted guests. All of our inventory is hand-selected in Morocco. We curate the best possible selection of vintage Berber carpets available. Our entire collection of carpets and textiles is located in Brooklyn, New York. All of our pieces are professionally cleaned and restored before coming to market. We ship anywhere in the world within two weeks.
