Red Moroccan Vintage Rug, Country of Origin: Morocco, Circa date: Mid 20th Century – An absolutely impeccably made vintage rug from mid-twentieth century Morocco, this rug is stunning both for its traditional composition as well as its daring dimensions. This beautiful rug features a long, gorgeously colored rug field with a textural abrash that incorporates overlapping, complementary hues of reds — including burgundy, crimson and a fierce, fiery orange — giving the piece a vibrant and bold feel. Kohl back ladder motifs with finger-like extensions line the edges of the deeply saturated sunset-red field while flat-woven ends — impeccably decorated with a simple stripe pattern which perfectly incorporates contrasting shades of lavender, orange, celadon, cerise and beige — help to emphasize the traditional Moroccan appearance of this piece, as well as to highlight its enthusiastic and gorgeous tribal styling. The splash of contrast that they bring to this piece round it out in a breath-taking stroke of brilliant artistic insight.
