Moroccan Boucherouite rug, handwoven in the late 20th century.
Boucherouite rugs, created by Amazigh (Berber) women in rural Morocco, transform recycled textiles into exuberant works of folk art. This example features a striking vertical column of lozenge motifs rendered in pink, sky blue, and pale yellow against a deep charcoal ground. The palette and high, shaggy pile give it a wonderfully tactile and expressive presence. A spontaneous composition with rhythmic repetition and playful color balance.
In very good condition, with minor signs of age and use. Handwoven from mixed recycled materials on a cotton foundation, with a soft and heavy handle
