5 x 9 - Vintage Moroccan Rug - 20189

With its Primitive charm and tribal symbols, this vintage Moroccan rug synthesizes beautifully with modern architecture and contemporary decor. A fine example of Primitive weaving, this Moroccan carpet embodies the modern concept of less is more. The simplistic style combined with its understated color palette produces a mesmerizing optical effect over the entire composition. These handmade Moroccan rugs are believed to protect the human spirit from negative energy and shield the human body from the elements. The hints of dyes that make their way into the rug's motifs and fringes have their own tale to tell. In Berber culture, the color red symbolizes strength and protection, blue symbolizes wisdom, yellow represents eternity and green stands for peace. While the patterns may seem whimsical and random – they are very significant to the rug weaver's life. 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. Measures: 4'09 x 9'05.
