Vintage Moroccan Striped Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7848 8'7" × 11'9" $16,000

A striking expression of mid-century North African textile artistry, this vintage Moroccan Kilim from the 1950s features a rhythmic, minimalist design that captures the essence of Berber aesthetics with modern sophistication.

Handwoven from wool, the rug is composed of alternating horizontal bands in rich, earthy tones: deep forest green, creamy ivory, and soft charcoal brown. The central portion displays narrower black-and-ivory stripes, meticulously woven to create a subtle optical texture. Flanking this centerpiece are broader bands of forest green with discreet dark brown striping, giving the composition a grounded and harmonious balance.

The linear motifs are characteristic of traditional Kilim weaving, yet the deliberate precision of the pattern and bold color contrasts reflect the growing influence of modernist design during the mid-20th century. The visible stitching where the panels are joined — with bright green joining seams — adds a hand-crafted authenticity and architectural appeal.

This piece would serve equally well as a bold grounding element in a minimalist interior or as a textural statement in a richly layered space. With its modernist spirit and tribal soul, this Kilim offers a rare and refined glimpse into vintage Moroccan craftsmanship.
