77203 Vintage Rabat Moroccan Rug, 06'02 x 11'09.

Brilliant color and tribal allure collide in this stunning hand-knotted wool vintage Moroccan Rabat area rug. Two latch-hooked stepped medallions elegantly float in the center of an abrashed scarlet red field. Each medallion contains a graphic multi-colored
diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds adorned with botanical motifs. The fieldis scattered with a variety of motifs including octagons set with eight-pointed stars, trousseau chests, rosettes, leaflets, and calyxes. A black border that repeats the eight-pointed star motif curves around the medallions breaking into a paneled border decorated with flowers and S-shapes. The outer borders feature series of large blossoms and diamonds.
