The rug pattern and design is based on a diamond configuration with colorful lines and special symbols throughout. The main background of the vintage shag rug is in ivory color, but it has splashes of warm rustic colors everywhere you look. These magnificent and carefully selected accent colors, that are so beautifully rendered in this rug from Morocco include touches of turquoise, reds, oranges, browns and greys. These more saturated color tones are combined in such a way that the lines reveal incredible detail upon closer inspection.

The design of this fascinating shag pile Moroccan Berber rug is asymmetrical with no clear center point either vertically or horizontally. The design is more heavily weighted on one end, growing less dense towards the other end of the vintage mid century modern rug. This shag textured Moroccan rug will add interest to any minimalist, modern, Scandinavian, or contemporary interior design. The free flowing nature of the lines featured in this spectacular shag pile Moroccan Berber rug gives it an organic quality that reminds one of the tribal roots of the highly artistic folk art rugs.
