About this rug

Apricots on a white table, each a little different. A fondouk is the old caravanserai, and this checkered Berber rug is its plan: thick walls stepped around the edge, small blocks inside. Weavers once built it room by room. Zarbish knots one now.

The small squares at the center are set loosely, a knot or two out of line with each other, while the frame around them steps in and out with precision. The deep bands at the top and bottom are the densest wool on the rug.

The story

How we made Fondouk

Apricots on a white table, each a little different. A fondouk is the old caravanserai, and this checkered Berber rug is its plan: thick walls stepped around the edge, small blocks inside. Weavers once built it room by room. Zarbish knots one now.
