7 x 9 - Brown Vintage Moroccan Kilim Rug - 20886

20886 Vintage Zemmour Moroccan Kilim Rug, 06'10 x 09'04. 

This hand-woven wool vintage Zemmour Moroccan kilim rug features
three diamonds with open-ends along the center surrounded by additional bands
with symbolic motifs creating an expansion effect for the three main lozenge
motifs. The expanding bands are composed of squares, chevrons, diagonal
rectangles, lozenges, and male symbols known as a comb or ladder. 

Though
deceptively simple, this Classic design is steeped in Moroccan tradition. The
tribal symbols of diamonds, chevrons, and X-shapes are usually thought to
symbolize womanhood, conception, fertility, and pregnancy. In Moroccan rugs, male motifs often appear on
the outer portions of the composition, framing and enclosing the female motifs.
This presentation can be seen as symbolizing fertility, as well as protection
and the sanctuary of the family. Blending primitive charm, ancient symbolism
and Folk-Art warmth, this vintage Moroccan kilim rug reflects generations of
cultural beliefs and serves many design purposes. 

Well-suited for a wide range
of interior styles: Tribal, Nomadic, Ethnic, Traditional, Eclectic, Modern,
Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, Industrial, Bungalow, Bohemian, Boho Chic,
Primitive, Rustic, Lodge, Cabin, and Lake Tahoe. Perfect for a dining room,
bedroom, living room, home office, study, studio, front room, or casual sitting
area.
