Vintage Aït Bou Ichaouen / To be added

This vintage Aït Bou Ichaouen rug speaks in deep, poetic hues, led by a chorus of purples, soft pinks, and mustard yellow, all boldly outlined in charcoal black. The palette is moody and vibrant in equal measure, with color layering that creates a sense of depth and movement.

Its composition begins with a loose diamond lattice, floating gently before it gathers momentum into a denser pattern of nested lozenges and protective symbols. There’s a clear shift in rhythm, a story unfolding across the pile with quiet determination.

No formal border defines its edge, yet bold black outlines along the sides subtly frame the work. The piece is grounded by a short kilim band and soft fringes, a gentle closing to its free-flowing tale. Expressive, balanced, and filled with the emotive power of aged wool and tribal memory, this rug is a visual hymn to the color purple and its ancient resonance.
