Antique Boucherouitte Allover Geometric Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1940s. This exceptional textile represents the improvisational spirit inherent in the boucherouitte tradition, a style born from necessity and creativity in Moroccan weaving, utilizing remnants of fabric to create highly personal, expressive floor coverings. Woven from strips of recycled cloth, the surface presents a highly tactile, shaggy pile that defies conventional structure, emphasizing texture over strict symmetry. The resulting palette is a lively, energetic mix, creating a stunning example of multicolor jewel tone rugs that captures the spontaneous vibrancy of mid-century folk art. While the title suggests a geometric motif, the design is characterized by horizontal bands of varying width and texture, creating a dynamic, abstract composition.
