Vintage Moroccan Rug 4'8" x 5'

SIZE: 4.8 X 5 FT.

ORIGIN: MOROCCO

CIRCA: 1960s

MATERIAL: PURE WOOL

This vintage Moroccan woollen rug is a vibrant handwoven textile, brimming with tribal charm and rich Berber symbolism. Its composition is bold yet balanced, structured through horizontal bands of geometric motifs that reflect the nomadic heritage of Moroccan weaving.

The rug features alternating bands in ivory and deep brown, each embellished with stylised diamond medallions, lozenges, and abstract bird-like motifs. The use of saffron yellow, ruby red, burnt orange, and soft grey-blue adds energetic contrast to the earthy foundation, creating a rhythmic visual language that feels both ancient and modern.

The central sections of the rug showcase dark brown bands containing serrated diamond motifs outlined in white and gold, symbolising protection and fertility. These motifs are interspersed with smaller, angular forms that add detail and variation. The ivory bands contain repeated arrow-like shapes and zigzag accents, arranged symmetrically to create a sense of order and movement.

Framing the composition is a multicoloured border featuring jagged flame-like motifs and tribal embellishments, enhancing the overall depth and complexity. The fringe edges are finished with hand-knotted wool, while the weaving technique remains flat and sturdy, typical of traditional Moroccan kilim and hanbel construction.

The wool is thick, coarse, and full of natural character, giving the rug a raw, rustic texture that speaks to its handmade origins. This piece works beautifully as a statement floor covering, a wall hanging, or a decorative layering piece in eclectic, bohemian, or heritage-inspired interiors.

Its artistry lies in the balance between vibrant colour, symbolic language, and authentic tribal weaving tradition.
