Vintage Moroccan Boucherouite Rug – Hand-Knotted Tribal Wool Early 20th Century

About the Item

Description A richly textured and vibrantly patterned vintage Moroccan Boucherouite rug, hand-knotted by Berber artisans of the Middle Atlas or Beni Mellal region, dating from the 1900's-1910's This unique piece features a lush shag pile construction, intricately knotted with vivid hues of emerald green, ochre, coral red, black, and sunburst yellow. The rug is composed of tightly packed motifs framed in a grid-like structure, including symbols of protection, community, and fertility, deeply rooted in Berber cosmology. The varied color palette and dynamic symmetry lend the piece both energy and warmth, making it ideal for collectors or interiors seeking authenticity and bold design. Crafted using a combination of natural wool and recycled textiles, this rug is an expressive example of sustainable artistry and cultural heritage, often associated with Boucherouite weaving, which emerged as an artistic response to changing social and material conditions in rural Morocco. Sourced from a private collection in Morocco, this rug reflects the spirit of Berber women’s creative expression during the early 20th Century. Its irregularities and asymmetrical charm are part of its authenticity as a folk-art textile. The owner of this item has advised that it is 120 years old minimum.
