Vintage Moroccan Tapestry Rug in Magenta, Blue, Green, Gold in Abstract Design

About the Item

This vintage hand-crafted Moroccan tapestry rug is a striking example of abstract folk artistry, featuring an ultra-modern geometric composition in a vivid palette of magenta, blue, green, gold, red, pink, purple, and earthy browns. Woven by hand from a mix of recycled textiles, this mid-20th-century Boucherouite rug embodies the expressive spontaneity and color theory reminiscent of modernist painters like Josef Albers and Paul Klee. Its improvisational style and bold asymmetry also echo the visual language of the iconic quilts of Gee’s Bend, Alabama—celebrated for their raw beauty and rhythmic, intuitive geometry. Whether used as a statement-making floor covering or mounted as an artful wall tapestry, this Moroccan rug is a versatile and powerful design element ideal for contemporary, eclectic, or bohemian interiors.
