Vintage Moroccan Rug, Morocco, mid-century – This definitive vintage Moroccan runner embodies the luxurious minimalist style that made regional rugs prized design accessories with Le Corbusier and a crowd of modernists. The sumptuous background of ribbed manila pile is the perfect canvas for the meandering latticework trellis that travels through the composition. This striking pairing of soft neutrals and strong kohl black is synonymous with and perfectly suited to classical modernism. Strong linear motifs and abstract ornaments based on ancient traditions complement contemporary trends and embody an inviting combination of modernity and history. Quirky fetter symbols and small-scale glyphs embellish the latticework frame at random intervals while maintaining the abstract style and alluring sense of intrigue that these archaic tribal symbols provide. This exceptional vintage Moroccan carpet displays luxurious textures and iconic modernist details in a superb runner-style format.
