20466 Vintage Red Moroccan Rug, 05'00 x 09'04. 

Intricately hand-knotted, this hand knotted wool vintage Berber Moroccan rug showcases a timeless design—a single column adorned with eight concentric diamonds, each filled with a series of expanding lozenges. Though its appearance may seem deceptively simple, this classic pattern carries profound tradition and significance. The tribal symbols embedded in the diamonds within diamonds speak of themes like pregnancy, womanhood, and fertility, adding layers of cultural depth.

The vibrant Moroccan rug is embraced by a border featuring solid color bands, symbolizing snakes—an emblematic male motif. In the realm of Moroccan rugs, male symbols often grace the outer edges, framing and enclosing the female motifs. This deliberate arrangement is rich with symbolism, depicting fertility, protection, and the sacred sanctuary of family life.

This vintage Moroccan rug doesn't merely adorn spaces; it presents a bold, energetic form infused with a depth of meaning that elevates it to a unique status. Such Moroccan rugs, with their profound symbolism and captivating designs, seamlessly integrate into contemporary interiors, bringing with them the enduring spirit of tradition and the vibrant stories woven into each knot.
