Vintage Moroccan Rug BB5853 6'7" × 8'0" $5,000

$5,000

This circa-1940 vintage black and white Moroccan rug features an all-over design of a lozenge lattice that seemingly fades from an outline of sharp black to dark brown against a field of natural cream. At once modern and evocative of traditional tribal elements, the vintage area rug is part of the rich rug-weaving tradition of Morocco. Moroccan rugs have typically been woven by tribal peoples for their utility rather than for decoration.

These vintage carpets experienced a growth in popularity in the West when mid-century modern designers such as Le Corbusier paired the thick piled Berber antique rugs with their minimalist furniture. Many of these Berber carpets are woven by the Beni Ourain peoples from the Rif Mountains near the city of Taza in northern Morocco. Colors vary from neutral shades to bright, stand-out hues, with designs ranging from geometric simplicity to free-flowing abstraction. The primitivist feel of many Moroccan carpets makes them attractive to modernist collectors.
