Vintage Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – A brilliant burgundy purple Moroccan carpet. These types of carpets are exceedingly rare. A shortage of indigo and red dyes in post-Islamic Morocco made colored rugs extraordinary uncommon. Beautifully, the lines in each rhombus are composed of white, orange, and black threads. They encircle a Khotan checkered design that utilizes the same orange, white, and black dyes.
Crescent moons propped on pillars with angular flourishes at the bottom of the carpet make this a truly remarkable work of art. Because this piece is so rare, it won’t be here for long. Collectors are constantly searching for vibrantly-colored purple Oriental Moroccan rugs, so snap it up while you can.
