This vintage Moroccan rug is from the central high Atlas of Morocco. Gentle waves of abrash sweep across the composition enhancing the capacious monochromatic red field. Impeccably woven throughout, the elegant Meandros border sets a timeless formality, functioning as the perfect grounding tool for one's entire space. The hints of dyes that make their way into the rug's motifs and fringes have their own tale to tell. 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 weaver's 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. With its simplistic style, this Berber Moroccan is full of character and brings an artistic impact to complement modern and transitional interiors. Measures: 05'09" x 08'04".
