Vintage Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Created in Morocco during the mid-20th century, this spectacular vintage rug features an eye-popping checkerboard pattern that is precisely executed in a bold combination of ivory and deep walnut brown. The intricately patterned field features innumerable checkerboard cells with precise intersections that emphasize the high-contrast color scheme. Definitively modern, this exceptional Moroccan rug depicts seemingly simple geometric motifs that are combined to produce an artful high-impact pattern that is modern and timeless. The obscure chocolate brown squares are adroitly juxtaposed against austere vanilla white blocks that add an airy levity to the bold composition. Delicate fringes and soft white borders formed by the negative space produce a simple frame that provides closure to the endless checkerboard pattern.
