Vintage Moroccan Rug with Geometric Shapes, 04'11" x 08'03" from Esmaili Rugs Collection. With its colorful accents and bold geometric shapes dispersed through the composition, this Berber Moroccan rug will fit wonderfully with Art Deco, modernist decor and liven up monochromatic interiors. These handmade Moroccan rugs are believed to protect the human spirit from negative energy and shield the human body from the elements. The hints of dyes that make their way into the rugs motifs and fringes have their own tale to tell. Colors vary from hues of red, green, purple plum, pink, yellow, orange, ivory and black. In Berber culture, the color red symbolizes strength and protection, blue symbolizes wisdom, yellow represents eternity and green stands for peace. While the patterns may seem whimsical and random they are very significant to the rug weavers life. The Berber women incorporate design elements from their personal experience into the rugs designs. The symbols are usually references to events and aspects of their daily life such as beliefs, birth, fertility, nature, femininity, life and spirituality. Part of the appeal to the savvy home owners and interior designers is the primitive charm in these Moroccan pieces. The minimalist and abstract forms seen in these primitive carpets represent the contemporary yet authentic creative and archaic spirit of tribal art. Giving a youthful and whimsical feel with its geometric design scheme, this Moroccan rug will add much-needed color and warmth to contemporary and modern interiors. Measures: 04'11" x 08'03".
