Moroccan Vintage Geometric Brick Red Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB6211 6'1" × 7'6" $8,000

This circa 1960 vintage Moroccan rug is hand-knotted in wool and rooted in the North African tribal weaving tradition. Its rust-red ground and relaxed geometric stripe pattern give the piece a quietly graphic presence, one that feels both authentic and highly adaptable in contemporary interiors.

Rather than a formal medallion, the design unfolds in horizontal registers across an open field, with stepped bands, ladder-like forms, and small geometric devices concentrated toward the upper and lower sections. The asymmetry is part of its appeal: the ornament appears deliberately spontaneous, creating an architectural rhythm that is expressive without feeling rigid. The hand-knotted surface adds to that artisanal character.

Charcoal accents sharpen the brick-red palette and define the motifs with clear contrast, while the tonal variation in the ground brings warmth and depth. As a vintage Moroccan wool rug, it works especially well in rooms that call for texture, visual ease, and a grounded tribal note, from modern living spaces to layered bohemian settings.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
