Description

This vintage Moroccan Boucherouite shag rug features a lively multicolor checkered pattern in green, blue, red, orange, and countless other vibrant hues. The term Boucherouite—meaning “rag” in Moroccan Arabic—reflects its unique construction: handwoven entirely from repurposed fabric remnants, a tradition that allowed Berber women to support their families while settling in village life. Both sides of the rug are fully functional, with the front presenting a soft shag texture and the reverse woven flat like a kilim. Durable, sustainable, and richly expressive, this piece embodies both artistry and cultural history, making it a versatile choice for contemporary interiors.
