About the Item

1970s Marsh Arab Embroidery ( 5' 3'' x 8' - 160 x 245 cm ) From The Marsh Arabs (Ma’dan) of Beni Hassan villages of Southern Iraq Vintage Embroidery Iraq Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1970s. This striking piece from Iraq presents a densely packed field of traditional tribal geometry, executed in a style reminiscent of fine needlework. Its construction, while technically knotted, captures the textural richness often found in regional embroidery. This piece belongs to our curated collection of vintage area rugs, offering a vibrant example of mid-century Near Eastern textile artistry. The palette is dominated by a rich, saturated yellow, providing a warm, luminous foundation. This intense ground is beautifully punctuated by accents of soft rose and pale powder blue, creating a complex visual depth. The interplay of these hues establishes a dynamic, yet harmonious, surface, qualifying it among our most captivating multicolor jewel tone rugs. The design is structured around a series of large, repeating square medallions, each centered with an intricate diamond motif. These primary elements are separated by narrow, highly detailed vertical columns filled with checkerboard patterns, zigzags, and stylized star motifs. The overall effect is one of controlled maximalism, showcasing the weaver’s dedication to intricate, small-scale pattern repetition. Given its elongated proportions, this textile functions exceptionally well as a striking accent piece, perfectly suited for use among our collection of hallway runner rugs. It retains excellent condition consistent with its vintage age, offering both historical character and robust durability for contemporary placement. This rug is featured in multicolor jewel tones , yellow tones.
