Hand-knotted in wool and originating from Morocco circa 1950-1960 and possibly older, this 6x7 vintage Moroccan striped rug in beige and chocolate brown, is an extremely rare piece like so few of its provenance.
On the Design:
Admirers of the craft will note what an exceptional find this versatile-sized piece is for any period, especially considering the typically small, narrow looms of many tribal weavers. A beige field underscores a minimalist geometric pattern of rich chocolate brown stripes and squares in the field and borders respectively. Connoisseurs will further note the delicious, lush high-pile texture, which has aged as beautifully as every other element of the piece—a rich work of folk art in the Berber tribal weaving tradition of the middle Atlas mountains. This in tandem with the general attention to detail and sheer personal nature likely connotes a very special piece, and the work of many weavers. It’s a gorgeous masterpiece of the primitivist Berber tradition, and an exemplar of all nomadic folk art as well.
Condition:
This vintage Moroccan rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. less
