This handsome vintage mid-century rug from Morocco depicts a grand latticework pattern embellished with bilinear outlines and extraneous protection symbols.

Vintage Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Incidental glyphs and protective hac symbols used to ward off the evil eye decorate the plush ivory-colored field of this elegant mid-century Moroccan rug. The expansive latticework pattern extends across the field incorporating a variety of symbols and nuanced variations. Bi-linear latticework motifs highlight slivers of the plush ivory background adding a level of contrast and complexity to the formal latticework pattern. Each stark latticework cell features sloping outlines and irregular proportions that possess a pleasant tribal style. In a classically Moroccan fashion, this elegant minimalist rug showcases a beautifully varied field adorned with abstract symbols that are rendered in a timeless, versatile and delightfully modern combination of ivory and subdued walnut brown.
