Vintage Moroccan Rug, Origin: Morocco, Circa: Mid-Century – This striking classic vintage Moroccan carpet displays a sumptuous ivory ground emblazoned with simplistic linear decorations that create a strong repeating pattern. Like the sophisticated Berber carpets beloved by designers throughout the 20th century, this luxurious vintage rug embodies a minimalist aesthetic with subtle tribal details, a versatile elongated composition and an achromatic visage that is suitable for a wide range of interior styles. Precision, abstraction and symmetry are skillfully balanced in the decorative striped end pieces, well-formed latticework pattern and zigzagging edge pieces that function as partial borders with the help of fleecy brown selvages. Perfectly suited for modern interiors a la Eames or traditional decor a la Billy Baldwin, this definitive Moroccan carpet has a striking minimalist aesthetic with graphic geometric patterns that are elegant, luxurious and truly timeless.
