Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Born out of tribal weaving traditions in the rugged Atlas Mountains, this mid-century Moroccan rug has an intrepid modern style and a strong op-art visage. The composition, the proportions and the graphic neutral colors have the ideal qualities for flattering classically modern spaces. Discontinuous lines and graphic black-on-white decorations create a playful latticework pattern with crisp right angles. The distractedly modern grid forms an expansive mesh-like pattern that transforms the composition and balances the versatile elongated layout. Like the floor coverings favored by the greatest mid-century designers, this luxurious Moroccan rug has a true modernist composition executed in a stark combination of shaggy white and inky black that has an ageless modernity.
