Vintage Moroccan Rug, Origin: Morocco, Circa: Mid 20th Century – Created in Morocco, this marvelous vintage rug features an eloquent yet discontinuous pattern that combines an exceptional number of abstract glyphs, subtle symbols and minute details rendered in an earthy hue of umber that is exceptionally modern and sophisticated. This expressive vintage rug showcases the artful ambiguity of Moroccan carpets using a multitude of details and vague glyphs that remain open to the viewer’s interpretation. Angular runes, obscured symbols, disintegrating latticework patterns and enigmatic figures create an expressive, artful pattern that highlights the sumptuous ivory field. The unconventional composition and ethereal design elements of this Moroccan rug create an exceptionally modern result that conforms to minimalist design ideals.
