About the Item

Woven with the exclusive use of recycled yarns of various type, ranging from cotton to lurex, this represents 'art brut' within the domain of the textile arts. Weavings such as this are the product of illiterate Berber people living at the margins of their society with very limited economic means, for whom making a floor covering by using recycled yarns is the only affordable solution. One marvels at the amount of creativity shown in these art works.

Alive with untamed vibrancy and soulful artistry, this vintage Boucherouite Moroccan rug stands as a testament to ingenuity, resilience, and cultural prestige. Hand knotted from repurposed textiles by Berber women, each precious fiber captures a fragment of history, transformed into a jubilant symphony of color.
