Mid-Century Moroccan Vintage Geometric Hand-Knotted Wool Rug In Warm Tan BB4036 10'0" × 19'5" $60,000

This circa 1940 vintage Moroccan rug is hand-knotted in wool and reflects Morocco’s tribal weaving tradition. Its warm tan ground and softly worn pile create an easy, grounded presence, while subtle abrash and time-softened clarity give the piece the relaxed character collectors and designers often seek in vintage Moroccan rugs.

At the center, a stepped medallion in muted blue, cream, and navy anchors the composition, flanked by diamond devices and small crest-like forms. The field is lightly scattered with tiny geometric ornaments, and the multiple borders—some trellis-like, others banded with folkloric motifs—add rhythm and framing without interrupting the open, breathable feel.

The palette balances earthy tan with cool light blue and chalky cream, lending the rug versatility across contemporary, bohemian, and more traditional interiors. It brings pattern with restraint, making it an effective anchor for seating areas, dining rooms, or bedrooms that need texture, structure, and a quietly artisanal focal point.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
