About the Item

A noble and elegant African blue wildebeest rug or carpet from the British Colonial era in Kenya. Blue Wildebeest are known beautiful and subtle color range of their hides. The natural hide has mostly shades of grays that have a bluish sheen and is striped. There are also shades of browns, tans, with hints of golds and a black mane and tail. The overall appearance is soft, subtle, warm and comforting. The hide is lined with a felt backing and the piece is also suitable to hang on a wall as tapestry, sculpture or wall decoration.

Vintage Moroccan Blue Kilim Rug with Geometric Border and Two Diamond Lozenges

Located in Morristown, NJ

Antique early 20th century Moroccan Kilim rug, with two central diamond medallions, made in simple flat-woven or tapestry technique, in which the pattern is produced by horizontal wefts that cover the vertical warps. The ground is a denim blue color with browns, greens, beiges, pinks and blues woven into the border decoration and diamond medallions. The desire for the ‘exotic’ rug family in Western culture played no small part in the entrance of Moroccan style to the world stage and the gradual western influence on the style we see today. Given their thinner, supple structure, Kilim rugs are usable not only as decorative floor covering, but also as wall hangings and on furniture or bed coverlets...
