Antique Moroccan Moroccan Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Morocco, Circa Date: 1940s. This exceptional piece is a vibrant example of antique rugs produced by the Berber tribes, showcasing the raw, expressive artistry typical of mid-century North African weaving.

The palette centers on a soft, natural wool ground, providing a neutral canvas for the highly saturated, contrasting geometric motifs. Hues of deep crimson, fiery orange, and rich amethyst create a compelling interplay, classifying this as a stunning example of multicolor jewel tone rugs.

The design is organized into distinct horizontal bands, each filled with complex, repeating tribal symbols—triangles, diamonds, and zigzags—creating a highly textural allover pattern. Its elongated form suggests it was originally intended as a hallway runner rugs, perfectly suited for navigating transitional spaces with style.

Reflecting the unique weaving traditions of the High Atlas region, this vintage textile captures the essence of Morocco rugs. The unrefined, spontaneous quality of the knotting and embroidery techniques speaks to its authentic, nomadic heritage, offering a powerful statement piece for contemporary interiors. See less
