A little mysterious. A lot of personality.

Meet NOCTURNE, a wonderfully unusual vintage Moroccan Boucherouite rug with a striking graphic design.

Deep black forms the background, framing a rich midnight-blue centre and an elongated diamond filled with a colourful patchwork of geometric details. Around the edges, a playful collection of almost totem-like Berber motifs brings in shades of turquoise, emerald green, cobalt blue, purple, rust, cream and faded pink.

It's a bold combination, but somehow it all works together.

A little about Boucherouite rugs

Traditionally made from reused textiles, Moroccan Boucherouite rugs are wonderful examples of creative recycling. Rather than following a perfectly fixed pattern, the weavers often work with the materials and colours available to them, giving each rug its own rather unpredictable personality.

NOCTURNE is particularly interesting because of its more structured composition. The central diamond and repeated border motifs give it an almost architectural quality, while the irregular textures and little colour variations remind us that this is very much a handmade piece.

A rug, or a piece of art?

At approximately 125 × 250 cm, NOCTURNE makes a beautiful statement in a living room, beneath a long console or in a creative workspace.

But we can just as easily imagine it hanging vertically on a wall as a tapis tableau. Against a neutral background, with a little spotlight, its striking geometry would almost look like a piece of contemporary textile art.

GOOD TO KNOW

This is an authentic handknotted Moroccan rug, not a factory-made reproduction. Slight irregularities in shape, texture, fringes and weaving are part of its character.

The exact rug shown in the photographs is the one you will receive.

TEXTURE & FEEL

Unlike the thicker, more shaggy Boucherouite rugs, NOCTURNE has a relatively fine and lightweight construction. Its flatter texture makes it particularly suitable for layering, smaller spaces or even hanging as a decorative tapis tableau.

Professional rug cleaning recommended.
