Vintage Moroccan Kilim, Morocco, Mid-Twentieth Century – Here is an appealing vintage carpet – a Moroccan kilim, woven during the middle years of the twentieth century. Among the more popular styles of vintage rugs available today, mid-century Moroccan rugs are celebrated for their uniquely modern aesthetic, which often features eccentric like work and an underlying focus on minimalism. This particular example, a runner length flat weaver, is characterized by a pattern of horizontal stripes that runs throughout. Various shades of brown, reds and blues are woven together at irregular intervals, with some heavy bands and some extremely narrow. Small eccentricities appear throughout the carpet, preventing the simple pattern of horizontal stripes from dominating the overall impression; the slight irregularities and idiosyncrasies of the carpet elevate its abstract qualities, and give the entire carpet a Bohemian, freethinking quality. A beautiful example of a runner length Moroccan flat weave, this vintage kilim is a charming and intriguing composition.
