Mid-20th Century Moroccan Handmade Kilim Rug in Pastel Shades

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
This truly mesmerizing vintage American kilim rug beautifully illustrates the folkloristic and elegant nature of authentic oriental kilims. Its main field bears a meticulous pattern composed of diamonds within diamonds giving the impression of pulsation and movement. It is worth mentioning that a diamond is probably the most common kilim motif that symbolizes protection against the maleficent gaze of the Evil Eye. The longer edges are additionally adorned with zigzags representing running water, a very scarce resource in deserts and steppes.
