Nour Lmarsa (نور المرسى), meaning "Harbor Light" in Darija, is a handwoven runner from the Safi-coastal region of Morocco. The rug showcases the pastel pink hues of a sunset seen by fishermen along the harbor after a long day at sea. These soft, calming shades are perfect for adding subtle warmth to any space.
Historically, rugs like this were designed not just for their beauty, but also to create a sacred space during gatherings. In more modern settings, this runner takes on new life as a contemporary interior design piece. Its narrow shape makes it an ideal choice for accentuating hallways or long spaces, while still maintaining an organic feel that connects old-world craftsmanship with modern aesthetics.
Age and Condition: This runner is vintage, crafted from 100% handwoven wool from Berber artisans in the Atlas Mountains. It features a faded red color (which appears reddish-pink) from the natural aging process, which adds character to the piece and enhances its handmade appeal. The runner shows slight signs of wear, but we think this only adds to its charm. Estimated to be 20-40 years old, this flat-weave rug is perfect for high-traffic areas like hallways, offering both beauty and durability.
