Moroccan Design High Low Rug

The Vintage Tribal Geometric Design Moroccan Wool Pile Berber Carpet is an exceptional example of the Rabat weaving tradition, dating back to the 1930s. Hand-knotted in Morocco from high-quality wool, this rectangular rug features a rich, natural ivory foundation that provides a soft contrast to its dense geometric motifs. The intricate allover pattern includes stacked diamonds, stepped triangles, and stylized Berber symbols rendered in natural dyes. With a 0.5-inch pile height, this room-sized rug offers both historical depth and a dynamic visual rhythm. Its vibrant yet disciplined aesthetic makes it a stunning decorative element for anchoring contemporary or traditional living spaces.

This circa-1940 vintage Moroccan runner antique rug is hand-woven in wool with a traditional shaggy pile and features a geometric design of linear, spider-like shapes in two tones of brown on a natural wool background. Moroccan rugs have typically been woven by tribal peoples for their utility rather than for decoration. These vintage carpets experienced a growth in popularity in the West when mid-century modern designers such as Le Corbusier paired the thick piled Berber vintage rugs with their minimalist furniture. Many of these Berber carpets are woven by the Beni Ourain peoples from the Rif Mountains near the city of Taza in northern Morocco. Colors vary from neutral shades to bright, stand-out hues, with designs ranging from geometric simplicity to free-flowing abstraction. The primitivist feel of many Moroccan carpets makes them attractive to modernist collectors. From versatile flatweaves to shaggy hand-knotted area rugs or runners, Moroccan rugs are both decorative and functional. They are valued for their technical qualities, expert use of fibers, great tensile strength, and abrasion resistance. Without a doubt, the original tribal Moroccan rugs from the Doris Leslie Blau collection bring character and a touch of worldliness to an interior.

The Late 19th Century Antique Caucasian Dagestan Ivory Islamic Prayer Design Rug is an exquisite example of 19th-century weaving from the 1880s. This hand-knotted wool rug showcases rigorous geometric precision and a luminous ivory ground that contrasts beautifully with saturated madder reds, deep indigo, and vibrant saffron accents. The design features a defined mihrab arch typical of prayer formats, while the main body displays a dense lattice allover pattern with stylized boteh and floral elements. Measuring slightly less than five feet in a square shape, this small scatter rug offers versatility in placement. This well-preserved artifact utilizes natural dyes and a 0.5-inch pile height, making it a highly collectible piece that demonstrates exceptional technical skill and organized composition from the Caucasian tradition.

Although presently made, this new rug embodies the greatest features of the centuries-old Moroccan weaving craft. It is modeled on Beni Ourains – iconic shaggy beauties originally woven by nomadic tribes wandering the area of the Rif Mountains near Taza, distinguished by a very characteristic design. The most typical Beni Ourain rug has ivory or whitish background and black or brown lines that create a diamond-shaped grid pattern; a diamond in the Oriental rug language is a protective motif guarding against the Evil Eye. The new carpet before your eyes fits into the most classic canon of Beni Ourains. Its off-white field bears a traditional diamond pattern. It is worth mentioning that the ‘imperfections’ of the design are intentional – they are connected to tribal beliefs that nothing in the earthly life can be perfect and aim at expressing humility towards the force majeure. The contemporary rug was made in complete accordance with traditional craft. Its cushy pile was carefully hand-knotted of top-notch wool by a skilled artisan. Due to such execution, the rug is durable, resilient, and unique. Under the condition of proper maintenance, it will serve its owners for generations without any signs of wear, bringing in its warmth and a pinch of Oriental magic. Moroccan rugs, in their variety of textures, colors, and designs have stood the test of time. 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 of 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.

This one-of-a-kind Rya rug is a sublime expression of the Scandinavian tradition, featuring a lush, high-pile wool construction for exceptional textural depth. A masterful study in geometric precision, the design showcases mirrored, tapering vertical spires meeting at a central horizontal band.

Rug & Kilim presents a collectible masterpiece of Persian tribal artistry from the turn of the century. Hand-knotted in wool, this antique Bakshaish rug reflects a balance of bold geometry and artistic spontaneity. An elongated, angular medallion anchors the field, surrounded by expressive floral abstractions and stylized botanical motifs. The palette of warm terracotta and coral is time-softened, accented by soft sky blues and ivory to reveal a gentle, aged patina.

Hand-knotted in wool, this 5x7 antique Qashqai rug from Persia dates to circa 1890–1900. A refined example of tribal Afghanistan weaving, this piece reflects the Qashquli subgroup's more intricate and balanced approach to the classic Qashqai aesthetic, combining nomadic sensibilities with a heightened sense of symmetry and detail. Admirers of the craft will appreciate this Qashqai tribal rug for its crisply defined medallion composition, where tribal geometry meets a more nuanced, almost workshop-level precision. The central diamond medallion anchors the field with clarity, framed by layered geometric contours that create a strong sense of structure and visual hierarchy. The field features a rich interplay of ivory, deep navy, and warm red tones, offering both contrast and harmony. The darker surrounding field allows the central medallion and its intricate floral-geometric motifs to stand out with striking definition, while subtle secondary elements, small rosettes, angular vinery, and tribal symbols—add movement and depth throughout. A particularly compelling feature is the balance between open space and ornamentation. Unlike denser tribal weavings, this piece allows each motif to breathe, enhancing legibility and giving the composition a more refined, almost architectural quality. The borders are equally articulate, with repeating geometric and floral elements rendered in complementary tones that frame the field without overwhelming it. Guard borders introduce finer detailing, while the primary border reinforces the rug's symmetry and rhythm. This piece exemplifies the Qashquli distinction within Qashqai weaving, more deliberate, more balanced, and notably more intricate, making it both a collectible textile and a highly versatile decorative work. This antique Qashqai rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin.

In the historic area encompassing the modern nation of Morocco, the tradition of rug-making is just about as old as it is anywhere in the world. The early adoption of rug-making by native Moroccans is certainly due in large part to the distinctive climate of the region: Moroccan rugs may be very thick with a heavy pile, making them useful for the snow-capped Atlas Mountains; or they may be flat woven and light as to suit the hot climate of the Sahara desert. The nomadic Moroccans and Berber tribes used these pile, knotted, and flat-woven carpets as bed coverings and sleeping mats, as well as for self-adornment, Some of these rugs were also used for as saddle blankets. The designs that most frequently appear in Moroccan rugs are traditional and ancient, passed down from weaver to weaver. Elsewhere in Morocco, most major cities have a unique style or design characteristic that distinguishes their carpets. Perhaps the most important carpet-producing city in Morocco is the long time Moroccan capital, Fes. Fes reached its golden age during the Marinid Dynasty of the thirteenth century. At that point, the city was home to over one hundred dye workers and thousands of artisan embroidery studios located in the city's Medina. The coastal capital, Rabat, is famous for carpets woven with floral and diamond-shaped elements, and a fairly bare field. Moroccan rugs experienced a growth in popularity in the West with mid-century modern designers – such as Le Corbusier – who paired the thick piled Berber rugs with their sleekly designed furniture. Many of these Berber carpets are woven by the Beni Ourain peoples from the Rif Mountains near Taza. Colors vary from neutral shades to popping hues, with designs ranging from ordered geometric shapes to a more free-form, expressive pattern. Part of the appeal to the modernists was the primitivism in the carpets. Unlike the traditional antique Oriental rugs found in Western interior decoration, there is little elegance about these rugs, yet they fit wonderfully with modernist décor. Moroccan rugs are fairly popular today for their decorative flexibility and reasonable pricing .
