Beautiful and Impressive Mid Century Modern Vintage Berber Moroccan Runner Rug, Country Of Origin: Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century – At times the art of primitive peoples can be arrestingly modern in its aspect, as in the case of this incredible vintage rug from Morocco. Woven by the Berber tribe of the Atlas Mountain, the field of this Moroccan rug has a diamond lattice or harlequin design that gradually melts or morphs into a free form flow of color and texture reminiscent of masters like Picasso or Miro. The rich effect of color is matched amply by the sumptuously thick, tactile pile, making it a kind of Modernist painting in wool.
