Featured in this lot is this Vintage Flat Weave Moroccan Kilim Rug, circa 1970s. Even though flat woven Kilims are typically associated with Romanian or Turkish rugs, Morocco also produces gorgeous Kilims. These vintage rugs are flat woven meaning they appear thinner and not as soft as other wool rugs. Kilims have no pile, but what they do have are awesome designs and colors. Specifically, Moroccan Kilims fit in many interior decors, from Moroccan to California Boho chic. Kilims are typically more affordable than other types of Moroccan rugs and in warm weather can function as indoor / outdoor area rugs. The tribes that make these types of rugs are often highly nomadic and need something that can not only be picked up and put down easily but don’t weigh much and can be packed into a small space. Moroccan Kilim rugs often feature geometric patterns as their primary design element. These patterns can include diamonds, triangles, hexagons and other angular shapes. The designs are typically bold and repetitive. Like other Moroccan rugs, the flat woven Kilim rugs have cultural significance in the region. They are often used in traditional Berber homes as floor coverings, wall hangings, or as seating mats in Moroccan tents. Moroccan Kilim rugs are versatile and can fit well with a variety of interior design styles, from bohemian and eclectic to urban modern decor and minimalist. They can be used as floor coverings, wall hanging decorations / tapestries, or even as table runners and cushions. The background colour of this Kilim rug is a lush, warm, maroon with the various other colours adding to the overall durable appearance. Braided fringe is on one end of the length, some braids are missing. Kilim rug exhibits normal but light wear from use and age, measures 60.5"W x 120"L, 124"L including fringe. Weight 14lb, 2oz.
