Vintage Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid-20th Century – Exquisitely styled and colored, this posh vintage Moroccan rug is a visual smorgasbord packed full of tantalizing geometric patterns, age-old symbols and inventive variations that are creative, expressive and wonderfully abstract. Strong geometric patterns, decorative textures, detailed embellishments and superb compositional skills give this superb vintage carpet a distinguished countenance that is thoroughly modern with a tinge of tribal history. In this brilliant carpet, simplistic latticework patterns, a favorite Moroccan motif, are expressively re-interpreted and re-imagined with all kinds of wonderful embellishments. Fishbone hash marks, zigzagging strapwork accents and creative variations give this constant pattern a number of distinctive faces that have harmonious continuity. Exquisite Tree of Life edge pieces with delicate chevron branches bolster the long rectangular composition and provide a fittingly understated conclusion for this vintage mid-century Moroccan carpet.
