Description

20030 Vintage Boujad Moroccan Rug, 04'09 x 05'03.

Step into the captivating realm of this hand-knotted wool vintage Boujad Moroccan rug, where Cubism and Mid-Century Modern styles converge in a mesmerizing checkerboard pattern. The geometric design goes beyond aesthetics, embedding layers of symbolism that echo themes of fertility and the powerful masculine presence. Within the checkerboard pattern, each square represents barley, a potent symbol of fertility, while the bold red bars dividing the field into three sections symbolize a dominating force of masculinity. Multi-color bars across the fields further reinforce the strong masculine symbolism, creating a narrative that transcends mere design.

Staying true to its Postmodern Bauhaus style, the rug embraces a hard-edge painting approach, featuring a graphic color block pattern and bold forms and colors. Drawing inspiration from artistic luminaries like Mark Rothko, Hans Hofmann, Piet Mondrian, and Karl Benjamin, this Moroccan rug becomes a canvas that weaves together artistic innovation and profound meaning. The depth of symbolism presented in such a bold and energetic form adds a layer of richness to this rug, making it a remarkable addition to contemporary interiors that seek not only visual allure but also a narrative that resonates with cultural and artistic significance.
