Apollo (2'6" x 5'4") – Vintage Rare Emerald Medallion Moroccan Accent Rug

The Rarest of Rare: The Emerald Medallion Rug

If you are looking for a piece with genuine soul and a design that simply cannot be found anywhere else, the Apollo rug is a truly fabulous, exceptionally rare treasure. Handwoven Circa 1960s from a premium blend of Handwoven Wool on a Cotton Foundation, this authentic vintage Moroccan piece is a brilliant celebration of commanding tribal artistry. Set against a deeply plush, un-dyed cream canvas, the weaver crafted a solid dark brown outer border that perfectly grounds the piece. The true magic lies in the center: a massive, stepped geometric medallion woven in a rich, vibrant emerald green rests inside a dotted black diamond frame. Accented with tiny, floating hourglass motifs in green and red, it is a highly expressive, deeply unique work of mid-century floor art.

Plush Comfort & Compact Proportions

Measuring a highly adaptable 2'6" x 5'4", this spectacular accent rug boasts a highly practical Approximate 3/4-inch thickness. This beautifully preserved profile makes it incredibly versatile—offering the insulating warmth and cloud-like softness of natural vintage materials while remaining highly manageable in everyday living spaces. Its near 3x5 footprint makes it the perfect high-character foundational piece to anchor a cozy entryway, bring unbelievable depth to a home office, or provide a vibrantly textured landing beside your bed.

Care for Vintage Treasures
