Luxurious Red Wool Carpet – Traditional Moroccan Medallion Design

Extraordinary Vintage Moroccan Rug: Intricate Red & Yellow Geometric

This hand-knotted rug is a truly complex piece of Berber textile history, distinguished by its elaborate lattice of patterns and a rich, warm color scheme. The intricacy of the design suggests the fine work of a master weaver, often found in the Zaiane region.

Dominant Color: The field is an intense, plush pile of deep red/crimson wool. The color shows natural variation (abrash) and provides a powerful background for the complex geometry.
Central Design: The rug features a repeating vertical pattern of large, interlocking diamond lozenges. These diamonds are richly filled with geometric motifs in contrasting colors, including saffron yellow/gold, black, and red. Many of the smaller interior shapes are symbols of fertility and protection.
Borders: The rug has wide, highly stylized borders featuring interlocking geometric patterns (reminiscent of the Greek key or stylized knots), woven in red and black/dark brown. This dense border work provides a strong, traditional frame for the central design.
Texture and Weight: The dimensions and high weight (12 KGS) confirm this is a large, high-density, hand-knotted piece, designed for warmth and longevity.

The aesthetic is maximalist, highly detailed, and steeped in ancient Berber symbolism.
