Vintage Moroccan Abstract Purple Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB6235 4'5" × 8'7" $4,000

Woven in Morocco circa 1950, this vintage hand-knotted wool rug reflects the country’s tribal weaving tradition in a compact format suited to layered, contemporary interiors.

Its design is built from an irregular patchwork of compartment-like blocks rather than a centered medallion or framed border, creating an allover rhythm that feels energetic and freeform. Vibrant purple anchors the composition, while turquoise, pink, ivory, charcoal, coral, teal, and flashes of blue and red break across the surface in uneven bursts. The thick, tactile pile softens the geometry and gives the piece a distinctly handmade presence.

Balancing abstract pattern with a distinctly Moroccan sensibility, the rug reads as both casual and carefully composed. It can bring color and movement to minimalist rooms, temper harder modern architecture, or add an artisanal layer to eclectic spaces. As a vintage Moroccan wool rug, it offers the visual richness of tribal design with an easy, adaptable character.

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.
