Moroccan Rug
-
Description
This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections. Bursting with folkloric charm and vibrant personality, this vintage Moroccan rug is a striking example of North African weaving artistry. Handwoven in wool, the rug showcases a dense all-over pattern of stylized floral rosettes arranged in a loose lattice formation, set against a beautifully saturated cerulean-blue field. The color palette is rich and organic, with warm tones of ivory, faded rose, terracotta, and deep brown, creating a harmonious yet lively contrast. The soft abrash (natural tonal variation in the wool) and slight irregularities add a tactile, human quality—hallmarks of tribal Moroccan craftsmanship. A narrow border, adorned with traditional Amazigh (Berber) motifs, frames the composition and adds rhythmic structure to the exuberant interior. The overall effect is both rustic and refined—celebrating imperfection as a form of beauty. This rug would bring soul and texture to any space, from contemporary lofts to cozy bohemian interiors.
This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs.
