Vintage Moroccan Rug, Origin: Morocco, Circa: Mid 20th Century – This festive vintage rug created in Morocco during the mid-20th century features a bold variety of monochromatic squares outlined with opposing colors. The staggered rectilinear compartments cover the field creating a vivid backdrop for the polychromatic checkered lozenges that break up the composition. Large checkered lozenges and secondary small-scale lozenges, a universal symbol that is said to provide protection from the evil eye, add a level of enigmatic symbolism to the abstract, geometric composition. Confetti-like variegation and polychromatic accents complement the sumptuous, richly textural field. Composed in a typical Moroccan fashion, this vintage mid-century rug embodies the innate creativity and natural use of color theory that defies traditions and effortlessly conforms to modern standards.
