Mid-Century Vintage Moroccan Tribal Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB9086 5'0" × 6'10" $4,500

This vintage Moroccan tribal rug, hand-knotted in wool and dating to the mid-century period, reflects the lively weaving traditions of Morocco with a distinctly artisanal hand. Its compact scale and casual spirit make it especially appealing for collectors seeking a piece with both heritage and personality.

The composition is built in horizontal bands rather than a formal medallion layout, giving the rug a rhythmic, tapestry-like presence. Stepped geometric forms, zigzag accents, and totemic repeats unfold across the surface in ivory, black, red, yellow, green, and violet, creating a spirited dialogue between structure and improvisation. The yellow fringe at the top adds another note of character.

Against the softly striped ground, the raised motifs carry strong texture and movement, making this Moroccan rug feel graphic without becoming rigid. It brings warmth and visual energy to eclectic, bohemian, or contemporary interiors, where its tribal pattern and layered palette can serve as an expressive accent or an anchoring decorative statement.

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.
