Antique Moroccan – Rabat Moroccan Yellow 1940s Rug, Country of Origin: Morocco, Circa Date: 1940s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the mid-century textile artistry of North Africa, offering a vibrant, high-pile texture characteristic of authentic Morocco rugs. The weaving technique emphasizes the natural, tactile quality of the wool, resulting in a surface that is both visually arresting and luxuriously soft underfoot.
The intense, saturated field color—a brilliant yellow—places this piece among the most sought-after yellow color rugs in our collection. The design utilizes a spontaneous, highly abstract allover pattern of charcoal glyphs and linear hash marks, lending a distinctly modern, almost expressionistic feel to the composition.
Woven during the 1940s, this Rabat piece captures the raw, unrefined aesthetic that made Moroccan textiles so influential to European and American mid-century designers. Its generous proportions make it ideal for anchoring a living space, functioning perfectly as one of our premier room size rugs.
The deep, lustrous wool pile ensures both luxurious comfort and durability, making this a functional artifact of history. This vibrant textile is a powerful statement piece, representing the finest examples of authentic antique rugs available today.
Condition: Good.
