Hand-knotted in wool and originating from Morocco circa 1950-1960, this 3x5 vintage Moroccan rug is an extremely rare piece like so few of its provenance. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will note what an exceptional find this Shabby Elegance piece is for any period, especially considering the typically small, narrow looms of many tribal weavers. A notable presence of polychromatic tones underscores a bold, graphic sense of drama and gravity in the boho chic design. This piece enjoys a lush high pile with primitivist Berber geometric diamond patterns. Keen eyes will further admire its healthy pile—exemplary of tribal rugs from this provenance and their textural appeal. It’s a gorgeous masterpiece of the primitivist Berber tradition, and an exemplar of all nomadic folk art as well. A gracious carpet with a cultured personality, well suited for a wide array of decor possibilities. Condition: This vintage Moroccan rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
