The pattern itself, known as the Greek Key or Meander, is a classical motif often seen on the pottery of ancient Greece and Rome, however, it’s not unheard of to see it on the pieces of art created in another country. Meander boasts multiple meanings: ancients it stood for infinity, but also unity. Symmetrical lines were highlighted by using shiny fiber. This not only helped to light up the composition but also brought a new life to an otherwise somber background.

They are a classic staple in both classic and modern interiors. Our modern Moroccan rugs are handmade by artisans in small, specialized workshops, following the centuries-old tradition. They are handmade of natural undyed wool or wool colored with natural dyes. Their designs are either of vintage tribal inspiration or traditional with an original twist, designs exclusive to Doris Leslie Blau.
