Overview:

Some Moroccan rugs are double-sided with winter sides and summer sides. This rug is double-sided but unlike anything we've ever come across. It's made with a specific technique called Zanafi twining which produces the exact negative of the black and white design to appear on the rug's underside. Which means that you get to choose which side you'd like to display, depending on the time of year or whimsy of the day. While this is a modern rug, the weaving style is quite old, with the Zanafi twining appearing in traditional Glaoui rugs where it was common for them embroidered Zanafi bits to tuft out on either side of the rug. In this rug that is entirely made out of the Zanafi style, we see the same tufting on the side as indicative of this classic method.
