On the Design:

This Moroccan rug presents a modern take on tribal minimalism, featuring a soft golden-beige field delicately sectioned by a bold black lattice. The composition is structured yet organic, with vertical bands dividing the rug into rectangular compartments—each bordered by hand-drawn zigzag motifs that lend a sense of handcrafted imperfection and charm. The golden tones shift subtly across the surface, giving the rug a sun-washed, aged warmth that complements its contemporary geometric form. Finished with a short fringe, it nods to traditional Berber weaving while embracing clean-lined simplicity. This in tandem with the general attention to detail and sheer personal nature likely connotes a very special piece, and the work of many weavers. It’s a gorgeous masterpiece of the primitivist Berber tradition, and an exemplar of all nomadic folk art as well.

Condition:

This vintage Moroccan rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. See less
