5 x 13 - Vintage Moroccan Rug - 20408

Mid-Century Modern Vintage Berber Moroccan Rug with Tribal Design 05'00 x 12'07 From Esmaili Rugs Collection. Primitive Charm, boho chic style and tribal design shine in this Mid-Century Modern vintage Berber Moroccan rug. With its strong linear lines and tribal symbols based on ancient traditions, this Berber Moroccan rug is believed to protect the human spirit from negative energy and shield the human body from the elements. While Moroccan rugs display some of the same aesthetic tendencies previously celebrated by modern artists, they are indeed tribal compositions which have played importance to the Berber people for centuries. This Berber rug does an excellent job of communicating the finer points of Mid-Century Modern style: the line work rendered in variegated green hues contrast beautifully against the creamy beige field. While the patterns may seem whimsical and random – they are very significant to the rug weaver’s life. The Berber Tribe symbols are usually references to events and aspects of their daily life such as beliefs, birth, fertility, nature, femininity, life and spirituality. This Berber Moroccan rug is an inviting combination of history and design, fitting wonderfully with Mid-Century Modern style and Minimalist design. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Measures: 05’00 x 12’07.
