Vintage Moroccan Rug, Woven in: Morocco, Circa Mid 20th Century – This quirky vintage Moroccan rug depicts an abstract checkerboard pattern comprised of grand color blocks featuring alternating shades of cobalt, crimson, burgundy, kohl black, maize yellow and ivory. Subtle striped details, polychromatic accents and abstract figures embellish the monochromatic checkerboard cells. This archetypal Moroccan rug features bold, saturated colors arranged in high-contrast patterns. The unique texture of the ribbed pile creates dimensional ridges by offsetting the flat-woven texture of the foundation against the bulky tufts of pile. Designed in a traditional Moroccan manner, this charming vintage Moroccan rug features inherently abstract variations on a rectilinear checkerboard pattern that are emphasized further by the graphic high-contrast color scheme. The bold combination of textures, colors and geometric patterns creates a distinctively modern and uniquely Moroccan result.
