Beautiful Vintage Red Background Berber Shag Moroccan Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Moroccan Rugs, Circa Date: 3rd Quarter Of The 20th Century – This vintage Moroccan shag rug is a vivid Berber rug, full of warmth with a red background color. Over this cheerful carmine, thickly lined figures in gentle blue and sunny yellow are picked out. Arranged singly or in pairs, the shapes are deliberately arrayed over the surrounding brightness. A pair of yellow diamonds rests alongside a duo formed of blue diamonds, with a smaller yellow mate trailing behind the latter. The pair also bear matching accents, small two-toned shapes reminiscent of eyes. The other dominant shapes over the red backdrop are quadrilaterals, some paired, with line-work in nested blue and yellow, creating a green impression. The colorful but otherwise stark rug conveys a decisive, bold air. Though minimalist in detail, the abstract design encourages the viewer’s mind to seek new interpretations of the stylized forms, which gives the vintage rug a lasting appeal.
