Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid-Twentieth Century – This marvelous vintage Moroccan carpet has a rustic, earthy visage with abstract decorations and fragmented patterns that capture the human style and harmony of Morocco’s famed designs. The coarse nubby background of shoe-peg pile is crossed by divergent lines and broken latticework figures that have irregular portions and an archaic appearance that has alluring abstract qualities. Walnut brown, khaki and taupe accents traverse the textural ivory ground while forming an organic, artfully ambiguous pattern. These linear decorations with their harmonious earth tones are complemented beautifully by the striated background, which incorporates a series of sedimentary mineral-tone stripes and understated accents that reinforce the abstract theme. Like the most sought-after Moroccan rugs, this quintessential creation has improvisational decorations that are quirky, personal and wonderfully unique.
