5 x 7 Vintage Red Moroccan Rug 20484

20484 Vintage Red Moroccan Rug, 04’10 x 07’00. 

In the intricate weave of this hand-knotted wool vintage red Moroccan rug, a profusion of diamonds and confetti-like sprinkles unfolds, framed by a ladder motif and vibrant colored stripes. The symbolism woven into each element adds depth to this captivating piece. Diamonds, generously ornamenting the rug, hold symbolic significance representing women, conception, and pregnancy. Interwoven among them are confetti, ladder, and stripes—each carrying distinct male motifs. In the tradition of Moroccan rugs, male symbols often grace the outer portions, enveloping and safeguarding the female motifs within. This deliberate arrangement can be interpreted as a symbolic expression of fertility, protection, and the sacred haven of family life. Rooted in ancient Berber Tribe symbolism and enriched by Folk Art creativity, this red Moroccan rug stands as a poignant representation of Primitive tribal design. Its vibrant narrative not only adorns the floor but also tells a tale of cultural heritage and the profound interplay of symbols, inviting you to explore the nuanced traditions woven into each thread.
