Blue, pale lilac, pale orange, and grey Middle-Atlas Berber rug, labeled as Rabat rug. An extraordinary wool quality that feels like silk. This custom made rug from a private collection provenance, was designed to match to the perfect lines of the room, 1970s.

Moroccan rugs become popular in the 1920s when Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto used as presentation for their design.

The Moroccan rug motifs also influenced designers such as Ivan Da Silva Bruhn and Vladimir Boberman. American Interior Designer Francis Elkins used them in some of her most notable interiors in the 1930’s and 1940’s.  The grand couturier and style icon Yves Saint Laurent also got inspired by a Beni Mguild rug for his YSL´s avant guard runway collection in 1969, also as motifs for YSL´s headscarves, mostly in the 1970s.

In a very good vintage condition.
