Sparkling. It borrows from Turkish rugs but the loose anarchy marks it as clearly within the Boujad tradition, if an exquisite version. Eight-pointed stars and a (somewhat) central motif show an outside influence but one that has long ago been folded in to the Moroccan mix. The deep magenta abrash and palette of greens, pinks, black, and cream are somewhat common. But here they are complex and intricate, in cascading garlands that sometimes fall regularly and sometimes bump and break. It’s serious but it’s lively. A dense weave of high-quality wool makes for an almost velvet feel adding sophistication. Three different borders and stripes too, because why not?
