Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – This superb vintage Moroccan rug is a magnificent example of Morocco’s graphic patterns, rich artistic traditions and impeccable use of locally available fibers, including sisal and wool. The sandy camel-colored field displays a lovely textural variegation created by the natural color variations that occur within the fibrous agave leaves that sisal is made from. Bold carmine checkers with wide spacing highlight the interplay between the intense ornaments and the chic neutral background. Lozenge-filled borders and broad carmine bands adorned with directional chevron stripes bolster the graphic composition and provide a bold visual focal point. Minute accents deepen the composition and make each carmine checker appear like a decorative yachting flag within an extravagant repeating pattern that is intrinsically graphic and packed with modern appeal.
