Vintage Moroccan Rug 45742

Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Novel in its saturated color scheme and unconventional composition, this expressive vintage carpet from Morocco features a charming lozenge-shaped medallion with radiant outlines. This minor element becomes the focal point of the sprawling composition, which includes towering chains of inset lozenges, zigzagging tendrils with seismic angles and a torrent of exuberant checkerboard motifs and cryptic symbols, which are set over a lovely tomato-red field decorated with abrashed accents and nuanced color variations ranging from fiery oranges to bold crimson reds. Neutral-colored symbols rendered in ivory, kohl black and complementary hues offset the brightly colored field. Like many Moroccan carpets, this charming vintage rug features an informal field with loosely spaced motifs, borderless edges and flat-woven ends that lend a tribal influence to the colorful composition.
