Beautiful Vintage Moroccan Rug , Origin: Morocco, Circa: Mid-20th Century – Here is a fetching vintage carpet – a uniquely bold and brightly colored vintage Moroccan rug. Moroccan rugs are prized for their tribal authenticity, as well as for their unique aesthetic trends. For example, irregular geometric figures are often presented, and arranged in a deliberate, seemingly idiosyncratic, asymmetrical manner. This particular example, despite its unique coloration – many mid-century Moroccan carpets are characterized by a sparse pallet of ivory and dark brown – does indeed boast a representative Moroccan treatment of abstract geometric figures. A bright red characterizes the field of this dynamic carpet, which  beautifully contrasts with the purples and oranges that color the abstract geometric figures throughout. A unique and exciting piece, this vintage Moroccan carpet is an intriguing example.

The mid century modern approach of the Moroccan rug weavers folk art at its best. Designed by the unskilled, untrained textiles artists in the high atlas mountains of morocco, these pieces are remarkable works of art. Some have argued that they were the precursor to the great mid century modern artists and designers. Incorporating never before seen used elements, the tribal weavers of Morocco were creating these works of art completely on their own. This specific piece is a great example of just how artistic these weavers were. Tribal in approach, artistic in design and incorporating bold happy colors – one cant argue that this carpet weaver is anything but a true artist in every way shape and form. To see this beautiful Vintage Moroccan rug is to understand what true outsider art is about – self expression and unique personal approach. A beautiful decorative work of art.
