About the Item

Beautiful Double Sided Vintage Moroccan Red Rug, Country of Origin: Morocco, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century – This striking red rug is vibrant and looks like it could have easily have been created by contemporary artists. However, this rug has thousands of years of tradition behind it. This Moroccan rug was created by a group of Berber tribes living in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. This harsh landscape has been home to the ancestors of these tries for millennia. This rug has an earthy, organic feel with gentle color shifts that many modern artists try to emulate, but they can never capture the beauty of an authentic piece. Rugs are an important part of Berber tribal cultural heritage. Many times, you will see symbols are woven into them that has special meaning. The colors used are also part of the story. For instance, red is a symbol of protection and strength. Blue is the color of wisdom. The color shifts might appear to be random at first, but each time the color or pattern changes, it represents a life transition, such as a death, birth, marriage, or change in fortune. Even without the familiar symbols that are often found on these rugs, it can still convey deep meaning for those who know how to interpret them.
