Description from the seller

Rare Ancient Berber Rug from Morocco (300×180 cm) – One-of-a-kind collectible piece

Intense Color Palette: Deep eggplant/plum background with central diamond medallions in coral, burnt orange, pink and hints of gold.
Large Size: 300 x 180 cm, a substantial measure ideal to enhance a large living room, an open space or a master bedroom.
