Vintage Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Created in Morocco during the mid-20th century, this stately vintage rug features a precise latticework pattern with faint linear details that are artfully obscured by the plush pile. Checkered lozenges and geometric symbols decorate the austere ivory-colored field adding a level of tribal charm to the elegant, minimalist composition. Stark linear motifs rendered in a somber hue of walnut brown that approaches kohl black decorate the sumptuous ivory field, which possesses a remarkable shearling-like texture. Reminiscent of the classically modern Moroccan rugs popularized by Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier and their modernist peers, this outstanding mid-century rug has a versatile, timeless modernity and a minimalist aesthetic that remains alluring today.
