Vintage Tribal Geometric Garden Design Moroccan Area Rug 45760

Moroccan Rug – Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Reminiscent of traditional garden carpets, this lively vintage rug from Morocco depicts a carefully divided field with rectilinear compartments that are filled with ancient protection symbols and bordered by ladder-like devices. Vividly colored borders feature rows of divided lozenges with contrasting quadrants that are used to defeat the forces of the evil eye. The boldly decorated compartments feature further subdivisions filled with stepped lozenges and ancient goz symbols that are outlined with ultramarine details. The colorful symbols and delicate neutrals that embellish the formal compartments are subtly contrasted by the gradient background, which incorporates varied hues of dark taupe, burnt umber and maroon enhanced with nuanced undertones.
