Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – This sophisticated vintage mid-century Moroccan rug features a superb elongated composition adorned with strong stacked-lozenge columns that create secondary latticework figures. Each well-defined cell is embellished with duos of rectilinear kohl black blocks that have a bold mid-century style. Complementary linear borders that mimic the graphic decorations contain the chic minimalist composition along with a series of decorative flat-weave ends that infuse the bold designs with a Moroccan sensibility. These stark linear decorations highlight the sumptuous fleecy textures of the creamy white field while giving the composition a vivacious minimalist style that follows classically modern ideals.
