Vintage Moroccan Rug, Origin: Morocco, Circa: Mid 20th Century – A beautiful vintage carpet — a vintage Moroccan rug produced during the middle years of the twentieth century, when Moroccan vintage carpets were at their peak and some of the very finest rugs ever made first saw light — this is an exciting piece that showcases the wide range of aesthetic avenues that can be occupied by finely crafted rugs. This vintage Moroccan rug features a series of bold columns incorporating extended limbs that create a meandering fretwork pattern, which exploits the restricted negative space found between each branched pillar. The bold geometry of the central columns is beautifully complemented by the geometric glyphs and amulets that are woven into the sumptuous field, which incorporates a varied selection of apricot pink, taupe and mauve. This is a beautiful piece that embodies many of the most desirable characteristics of Moroccan rugs.
