Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid-Twentieth Century – Symbolizing the color and traditions of the Berber people, this vintage rug from Morocco exemplifies the gestalt of these beloved tribal creations. The vivid Moroccan red ground has an aura of luxury that seamlessly ties into Berber traditions. Found in great Moroccan cities and their historic flags, this powerful color is a national symbol that represents strength, power and a host of important traits. The searing Moroccan red hues have a glowing intensity and elegance that is fused with tribal decorations and traditional patterns. Meandering bole brown latticework figures travel across the saturated red ground while displaying soft ivory accents that give the lines a graphic dimensionality. The harmony created by the juxtaposition of vivid red and muted browns is revived in the striped edge pieces and flat-weave ends that buttress the composition and reinforce the tribal theme.
