Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – This archetypal Moroccan rug is a textural masterpiece that represents all of the subtle traits and tactile qualities that made regional rugs essential pieces during the era when classical modernism was defined. Artfully conforming to minimalist design principles, this chic Moroccan rug casually transforms the sumptuous shaggy pile into a plush fur-like canvas that displays a complete allover latticework pattern. This precise grid is decorated with a series of inset lozenges that create a balanced focal point. In addition to creating an invitingly plush surface, the sumptuous texture of the exquisite Moroccan-style pile gives the kohl-colored linear motifs a fuzzy chalk-like texture that softens the stark minimalist designs and enriches the simplistic composition.
