Overview:
This vintage Moroccan boucherouite rug has a bright red base underneath an intersecting grid of navy and sky blue lines. Technically it's a handknotted rug, but the cotton fiber has worn down over time, giving it the feel of a flatweave rug. In some areas you can see the filler weave peaking through. A lot of the filler weave is actually made with recycled clothing and textiles. If you look closely, especially on the backside, you might be able to see some of the textiles poking through. That's one reason the underside of this rug is quite different from the top side. Moroccans will use both sides of the rug, switching it up throughout the year and depending upon the occasion. With older, handwoven rugs, the sizing sometimes varies (plus or minus) a few inches on either side. At its narrowest width, this rug measures 2' 9" across, and at its widest it measures 3' 3".

All rug measurements listed on our site refer to the woven area only. They do not include the fringe. If you need the full length including fringe for a tight space or exact fit, just reach out and we’ll be happy to provide that measurement.Because each rug is handwoven, slight variations are part of the charm. Some rugs may not be perfectly rectangular and can be slightly wider or narrower at one end. If a rug varies more than 4" across its width or length, we’ll note it in the product description. Anything under 4" is considered a normal allowance for handcrafted pieces like these.
We’ve made every effort to accurately represent the colors within the rugs, but the colors displayed may vary slightly from the actual piece. The appearance of colors can be influenced by various factors, including monitor calibration, brightness, and other settings. Each screen displays colors differently, and everyone perceives colors uniquely. If precise color matching is critical, please reach out for further information!
The simplest, time-tested method is straight from Morocco: hang your rug in the sun for a few hours, then shake it out well before bringing it back inside. This regular airing out is the best way to keep your rug fresh and dust-free. Beyond that, care depends on the rug’s material and construction. For instance cotton boucherouites are the easiest to clean - just throw them in the washing machine on a gentle cycle and air dry. Longer pile rugs should be vacuumed with care. Be sure to turn off the rotating brush or switch to the “carpet” setting before vacuuming the top side. For more information click here.
For stains or heavy dirt, we recommend professional cleaning, especially if the rug is wool or vintage. Most rug cleaning services charge around $5–6 per square foot.Regular cleaning not only removes dust embedded in the fibers, but also helps extend the life of your rug. Think of it as a check-up– occasional care now can help preserve it for decades to come.
We recommend using a rug pad. It adds cushioning, prevents slipping, and reduces wear on both the rug and your floors. It's one of the simplest ways to protect your investment. For more about rug pads, see below.
