This authentic Vintage Moroccan Ourika Rug is part of a special collection by Soukie Modern. The Ourika valley is located south of Marrakech along the northern slopes of the High Atlas. The cold rivers makes it harder to spindle and wash the wool extensively, therefore Ourika rugs tend to have a chunkier soft, blanket-like character. These beautiful rugs are comprised of un-dyed cream and brown wool and after the 90’s Ourika tribal weavers tended to add a lot of color in their design using cotton yarn. These rugs are woven with a bigger space between the knots making the rug more malleable and comfortable to rest on. This one-of-a-kind whimsical work of art is both durable and warming to any space. Easy to clean, this rug is suitable for spaces experiencing heavy foot traffic.
