5 x 9 - Vintage Moroccan Rug - 20255

Vintage Berber Moroccan Rug, 06'00" x 08'10" From Esmaili Rugs Collection. Adding a chic bohemian flair to timeless tribal design, this eccentric Moroccan rug will create a truly tempting look for nearly any room. Exploding with a vibrant color palette of red, brown, black, orange and blue, the beige background contrasts nicely with the multi-colored tribal motifs. 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. With its amazing decorative accents characterized by tribal symbols, the diamond pattern is believed to ward off evil spirits while the secondary symbols are believed to bring luck, prosperity and protection.
