Vibrant Vintage Moroccan Rug BB8759 7'5" × 17'5" $10,000

This captivating vintage Moroccan rug, handwoven in the mid-20th century, is a striking testament to the artistry and cultural heritage of the Berber tribes of North Africa. The rug showcases an exuberant and eclectic aesthetic, bursting with color and life.

At the heart of the composition lies a bold central medallion set against a saturated raspberry-red field—an unconventional yet magnetic backdrop that immediately draws the eye. The medallion is surrounded by a dynamic array of tribal motifs, geometric emblems, and symbolic patterns, including stylized trees, rosettes, and animal forms. Each element is rendered in vivid hues of burnt orange, ochre, cobalt blue, ivory, and sage green, contributing to a layered visual narrative rich with folkloric significance.

The wide border is equally expressive, divided into stacked panels of diverse motifs, creating a tapestry-like effect. The rug’s hand-knotted wool pile is plush and textural, lending warmth and dimension, while the weave’s slight irregularities enhance its handmade authenticity.

This rug not only exemplifies traditional Moroccan design but also resonates with a modern sensibility due to its fearless use of color and form. It would make a compelling focal point in both contemporary and bohemian interiors, bringing with it a sense of history, artistry, and soul.

Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
