Vintage Moroccan Rug, Origin: Morocco, Circa: Mid-20th Century – This classically modernist vintage Moroccan rug has a sleek mid-century style with a graphic achromatic color palette and streamlined geometric decorations. Like other vintage rugs, this vintage Moroccan rug is a stylistic paradox with striking designs that are ancient yet ageless. The neutral ecru field is soft, versatile and has a strong link to the distinctive Moroccan carpets selected by the leading designers of the 20th century. Tightly spaced stippled accents create an intersecting latticework pattern that is graphic and modern but also incorporates some of the most ancient geometric designs known to man. These textural latticework figures have a decorative transparency that allows dots of the textural ecru ground to peek through. Quirky variations and linear figures augment the reticulated latticework net while performing protective functions that are at the heart of these regional creations.
