VINTAGE FOLK ART MOROCCAN RUG. 14 ft x 6 ft 10 in (4.27 m x 2.08 m).

Beautiful Folk Art Vintage Geometric Moroccan Rug, Country Of Origin: Morocco, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century – This vintage folk art Moroccan rug will instantly add immense character and culture to any room. While these rugs now serve as stunning decorations, they were a critical part of an entire society in the past. Once used to survive a harshly frigid climate, rugs later became an essential part of the Moroccan culture and economy. The ancient capital of Fez garnered hundreds of dye workers in the 13th century as these rugs rose in popularity. Even now, Moroccan rugs are highly valued by interior designers because of the unique patterns and rich history they bring to a room.

Like many Moroccan rugs, this specific carpet features a complex diamond pattern and bright colors. Unlike more modern styles today, Moroccan rugs are unique because they don’t strive for perfect symmetry that often leads to a sterile and cold feeling. In many ways, the top half of this rug is completely different than the bottom half. Its color scheme and pattern evolves into something new.

While the entire rug is bordered by rectangles with vivid orange thread, the background of the Moroccan rug changes near the bottom from mottled light grey to blue. This background color change gives this carpet an especially unique design that is not extremely common. This deviation in color palette and design lends to the folk art style this rug embraces. It tells the story of inventive craftsmanship that does not strictly follow conventional patterns.

One of the many reasons vintage Moroccan rugs are in such high demand is because they blend in surprisingly well with many design styles. Plenty of Moroccan mugs complement both formal and informal settings. They look fantastic in both offices and entertainment rooms alike. Also, despite their look style and long history, Moroccan rugs often complement modern aesthetics. These rugs are versatile and perfect for all kinds of homes.

This particular Moroccan rug embraces its roots with its folk art design, which elicits a sense of individual artistry that’s been lost to time. As is often the case with Moroccan vintage rugs, this one also works well in professional and personal appearances. It provides a rare ambiance of international culture and sophistication with its intricate designs.
