Vintage Moroccan Rug, Country of Origin: Morocco, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century – This lively mid-century Moroccan rug features a beautifully varied compartmental pattern that epitomizes the unbridled artistry that makes vintage rugs from Morocco so individual and alluring. The plush ivory field is broken into fenestrated compartments by a striking series of checkerboard panels that continue around the periphery of the field where they create formal borders. Handsome bisected lozenges, comb-like blocks with digital appendages and abstract glyphs with fluid tentacles decorate their respective compartments creating a bold and beautifully varied visage that is put in stark contrast by the high-impact checkerboard borders. Created in the mid-20th century, this exquisite Moroccan rug features a playful combination of symbolic glyphs that are paired with graphic geometric patterns and checkers.
