Vintage Moroccan Rug – Bold Abstract Checkerboard Composition BB8972 4'4" × 8'10" $8,000

This striking vintage Moroccan rug from the 1940s features a dynamic and bold checkerboard pattern rendered in an abstract, painterly style. The design alternates large blocks of deep chocolate brown with an ivory background, punctuated by vibrant splashes of color throughout — including reds, greens, blues, purples, and yellows — that create an energetic, rhythmic effect.

The handwoven high-pile wool surface adds a tactile richness and depth, while the irregular placement of colors and shapes imbues the rug with a contemporary, almost impressionistic feel. The natural fringe edges further enhance its artisanal charm.

A perfect fusion of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship with modern artistic expression, this rug makes a captivating statement piece ideal for adding warmth, color, and texture to any space.
