Vintage Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid-Century – Drawn in a clear, precise style, this handsome vintage Moroccan shag carpet has extreme definition and a stylistic directness that amplifies the presence and importance of the sheltered lozenges and accompanying duality symbols, which resemble branching Tree of Life figures, making this a great example of the complex range of vintage rugs. This sparse, well-appointed field is accompanied by zigzagging running-water borders that represent yet another important motif found in weaving, pottery and many other decorative arts.
This understated Moroccan carpet has a balanced countenance with well-proportioned decorations and cryptic symbols that are profoundly traditional yet are depicted in a paradoxically modern manner that adds to their strong allure. Following the rich traditions of Morocco and the new style of classical modernism, this vintage Moroccan carpet has a luxurious visage that balances old symbols and new design ideas exceptionally well.
