Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Carefully composed and executed, this striking vintage rug from Morocco features unadorned lozenge end pieces surrounding a series of subdivided latticework cells embellished with tribal family signs and geometric motifs. Voided lozenges, arrow-shaped fetter symbols and crenellated turret motifs create a fascinating counterchange pattern using basic geometric elements. Masters of geometry and abstract composition, this magnificent vintage Moroccan rug features a stark combination of Kohl black and ivory that enhances the contrast between the simple components and modular motifs, which are utilized throughout the field and within the implied borders. Rendered in a minimalist composition beloved by Le Corbusier and storied modernists, this chic vintage rug is versatile, stylish and timeless in its color palette and unique style.
