About the Item
This antique vintage Moroccan rug came from the Beni Mguild or Ait Youssi tribe from the central middle Atlas mountains. It was made in the 1940s in the Guigou valley north of the Tichoukt mountain range where the Beni Mguild live. Its intended use was for special occasions and seen as an object of prestige.
This rug features beautiful dye, exhibiting rich color glowing colors. It was an authentic Berber piece that is a beautiful example of an antique rug that is still of contemporary style. With varying designs and a fabulous border, this rug has a playful, yet sophisticated look. The jewel-tones of violet, purple, orange, blue and red all dance together to create almost stained glass like appearance. There is an infinite amount of variation and movement within the pattern, making it a majestic piece. It has fringe on one end.
It is made of handspun wool from sheep in the high mountains. This rug has a thick shag of lustrous soft wool with dense pile and solid structure. The glossy wool and saturated colors give this rug a captivating effect. In excellent condition for its age and is a fine collectible rug. A one of a kind, unique handmade carpet. The colors and design remind one of the blooming pastures and flowers of the Middle Atlas mountains in spring.
Perfect for contemporary use, whether in a midcentury modern space or a contemporary interior. Also could be used as a tapestry or wall hanging.

1960's Colorful Persian Gabbeh Carpet with Modern Style
By Theo van Doesburg, Karl Benjamin
Located in Dallas, TX
61165 Vintage Persian Checkered Gabbeh Rug, 06'05 x 08'05. A mesmerizing fusion of tradition and modern artistry, this hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Gabbeh rug is a masterful composition of color, texture, and symbolism. Its captivating checkerboard design is more than a visual delight—it is a reflection of centuries-old nomadic weaving traditions, where each square holds meaning, and every hue tells a story. The richly abrashed field, infused with warm and cool tones, forms a rhythmic mosaic of alternating blocks, evoking the timeless beauty of handcrafted textiles passed down through generations.
Deeply rooted in Persian tribal culture, the checkerboard pattern is a stylized representation of the barley motif, a powerful symbol of fertility, abundance, and prosperity. This design, often seen in Gabbeh rugs, reflects the connection between the weaver and nature, as well as the belief in the cyclical renewal of life. Framed by a complementary border adorned with smaller geometric forms, the Gabbeh rug achieves a harmonious balance, reinforcing the sense of structure within its free-spirited composition.
Echoing the bold experimentation of Cubism and the avant-garde principles of the Bauhaus movement, this Persian Gabbeh rug feels remarkably modern despite its traditional roots. The graphic color-blocking and play of contrasting shades draw inspiration from pioneering artists such as Karl Benjamin...
