5 x 7 - Vintage Moroccan Rug - 20084

Vintage Moroccan rug from Esmaili Rugs Collection: In our constant search of fabulous spaces and inspiring interiors, one is always drawn to the impact of black and white abstract art. The look is always chic, yet sophisticated. Black and white rugs can be a welcome foil for traditional furnishings. They add texture to minimalist décor and function as a spot to rest the eyes in vivid spaces and colorful rooms. This vintage Moroccan with its tribal drawings has the ability to connect the nomadic Berber tribe history with today's modern interiors. These plush piled rugs, primarily woven by the women, were made to offer protection against the winter cold in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. 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. The multiple square shapes form an overall whimsical composition and carry great significance. Squares, with their straight lines, represent the structured (natural) order of the world. Squares represent an enclosed space symbolizing a safe abode of permanence and security. This Moroccan is a fine example of tribal weaving creativity and freedom at its best. Modern interior design ideas attractively bring square patterns into home decorating, blending the functionality and gorgeous designs to make your interior space look surprising and exciting.
