Vintage Folk Art Moroccan Berber Rug, Origin: Morocco, Circa: Middle Part of the 20th Century – Here is a beautiful small, yet quite dynamic and artistic vintage carpet – a vintage Moroccan Berber rug woven in high Atlas Mountains of Morocco during the middle years of the twentieth century. Broadly speaking, mid-century modern Moroccan rugs and carpets are celebrated for their distinct bold and tribal aesthetic. Markedly minimalistic, these rugs and carpets are prized by contemporary designers for their great versatility, as well as for the deep sense of modernity that they impress upon all who behold them. This abstract rug is decorated with a random allover pattern incorporating a series of colorful specks and freckles rendered in a restrained combination of buttery yellow and walnut brown paired with subtle green and robin’s egg blue accents. Extended stripes and speckled details distributed randomly across the field create an inconspicuous allover pattern that highlights the luxurious ivory background. A beautifully woven example, this mid-century Moroccan Berber rug boasts a dynamic and compelling composition, and is an excellent example of the broad appeal and versatility of modern design.
