Antique Moroccan - Boucherouitte Moroccan Multicolor 1940s Rug, Country of Origin: Morocco, Circa Date: 1940s. This exceptional example of an antique rug captures the improvisational spirit of mid-century North African weaving. Originating from the Atlas Mountains, this piece is a vibrant expression of the Boucherouitte tradition, where weavers utilized recycled textiles to create highly personal and textural floor coverings. The raw, shaggy pile and exuberant color palette are hallmarks of Morocco rugs from this period. Woven circa the 1940s, this textile is a masterclass in resourceful design. The dense, irregular pile creates a highly tactile surface, while the composition is a riot of primary and secondary hues—deep blues, vibrant reds, emerald greens, and soft pinks—all contributing to a dazzling, kaleidoscopic effect.
