Description
Originating from Morocco in the 1950s, this vintage midcentury Moroccan Berber rug presents a unique take on traditional Moroccan lozenge motifs, more closely resembling Egyptian cartouche symbols in these uncommonly curvilinear hues of red, blue, black pink, and yellow. These images, representing the womb, are rarely seen in this layered, multicolored fashion, let alone with such ornate corner symbols against this beige background, likely signifying a special milestone in the life of a female weaver. Hand knotted in high quality wool, this rug is also one of a select few to employ two-sided fringes, particularly of varying consistency while still mirroring the colors with horizontal symmetry.
