Vintage Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid-20th Century – This attractively versatile vintage area carpet from Morocco is the ultimate design piece for mid-century interiors and the eclectic spaces that are emerging today. The opulent ivory ground is embellished with a constant latticework pattern that has clean lines and precise proportions. This well-defined pattern is clear, uncluttered and rendered in a suitably restrained and highly prized achromatic color palette that helped make these versatile carpets must-have interior design pieces for the better part of a century. The limited neutral colors, the restrained design of the modular lozenges and the incomparable textures all work together to create a carpet that is elegant and understated but thoroughly luxurious, much like the trendsetting buildings and homes conceived and styled by Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto and many of the greatest 20th century designers and proponents of modernism.
