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

About the Item

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 as well. Perhaps the most exemplative common denominator of antique and vintage Moroccan rug patterns would be the diamond pattern—sometimes historically referenced as a “lozenge”. The diamond lozenge could be argued to be the most regarded symbol of Moroccan rug patterns. The motif is widely regarded to connote a representation of femininity, often a fertility motif keeping with the primitivism of ancestral Moroccan rugs. Dimensions: Approx. 108" L x 69" W Condition: Good/Fair, some discoloration and faded areas, small restorations. Note: All rugs are professionally cleaned at the sellers' expense prior to being picked up/shipped.
