Vintage Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Created in Morocco, this stellar vintage Berber Moroccan rug depicts a fantastic array of ancient protection symbols. The airy composition possesses the randomity of astral constellations, which create ambiguous patterns that remain open to interpretation. The strategically placed symbols and geometric details create secondary patterns as they align with neighboring elements. Family signs, abstract glyphs, inset lozenges, cruciform goz symbols, geometric stars and curling ram’s horn motifs are beautifully offset by the bold carmine field. Flat-woven ends and decorative edges embellished with scalloped lady finger details reinforce the traditional aspects of this vintage Moroccan rug while highlighting the graphic combination of pastel periwinkle, beige, kohl black and carmine.
