4 x 8 - Vintage Moroccan Rug - 20141

Berber Moroccan Rug with Tribal Designs and Minimalist Aesthetic, 03'08" x 07'10" From Esmaili Rugs Collection. This charming Berber Moroccan rug depicts an expressive pattern of abstract checkered motifs that are full of eccentric details among the nomadic tribes. Subdued colors of blue, rust, orange and brown complement its modest appearance and add layers of stylistic richness to this minimalist masterpiece. A series of triangles found in the vertical border represents the four seasons while the x symbol and diamond shapes stand for protection against the evil eye. The Berber women incorporate design elements from their personal experience into the rugs designs. The symbols are usually references to events and aspects of their daily life such as beliefs, birth, fertility, nature, femininity, life and spirituality. Some believed that the rugs could even ward off evil spirits so naturally, they incorporated designs such as diamonds and lucky charms to ward off the evil spirits and bring luck, prosperity and protection. With its playful composition and assortment of tribal symbols in a quirky color palette, this vintage piece radiates a Mid-Century Modern vibe. Measures: 03'08" x 07'10".
