Moroccan Rug

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
A mid 20th century vintage traditional Moroccan wool pile rug consists of a simple field of natural wool color. The stark minimalism of the vintage carpet makes it an intriguing find for modern collectors. Moroccan antique rugs have typically been woven by tribal peoples for their utility rather than for decoration. From versatile flat-weaves to shaggy hand-knotted area rugs or runners, Moroccan rugs are both decorative and functional. They are valued for their technical qualities, expert use of fibers, great tensile strength, and abrasion resistance. Without a doubt, the original tribal Moroccan rugs from the Doris Leslie Blau collection bring character and a touch of worldliness to an interior.
