Vintage Berber Moroccan Rug with Abstract Designs, 05'00" x 07'09" from Esmaili Rugs Collection. In our constant search of fabulous spaces and inspiring interiors, we are always drawn to the impact of black and white abstract art. The look is always chic, yet sophisticated. Black and white rugs can be a welcome foil for traditional furnishings. They add texture to Minimalist de?cor and function as a spot to rest the eyes in vivid spaces and colorful rooms. This vintage Moroccan with its asymmetrical tribal designs have the ability to connect the nomadic Berber tribe history with today’s modern interiors. It does an excellent job of communicating the finer points of this modernized style: the line work rendered in black and brown beautifully complements the ivory-beige field. These plush piled rugs, primarily woven by the women, were made to offer protection against the winter cold in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The Berber women incorporate design elements from their personal experience into the rugs designs. The symbols are usually references to events and aspects of their daily life such as beliefs, birth, fertility, nature, femininity, life and spirituality. Some believed that the rugs could even ward off evil spirits so naturally, they incorporated designs such as diamonds and lucky charms to ward off the evil spirits and bring luck, prosperity and protection. This Moroccan is a fine example of tribal weaving creativity and freedom at its best. Modern interior design ideas attractively bring square patterns into home decorating, blending the functionality and gorgeous designs to make your interior space look surprising and exciting.
