Vintage Moroccan Area Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Woven in Morocco during the mid-20th century, this stunning vintage rug features a graphic, high-impact checkerboard pattern that decorates the field from edge to edge and end to end. Subtle variations in the color, size and proportion of each checkerboard cell add to the interest of the abstract composition and nuanced color scheme. Undulating lines and bulging compartments with bowed edges emphasize the playful, abstract style of this graphic Moroccan rug. The bold combination of ivory and kohl black, which incorporates subtle undertones, is further emphasized by the sumptuous, beautifully textural pile. Charming poly chromatic fringes and narrow end pieces complete the handsome and definitively modern composition.
