Vintage Moroccan Rug, Origin: Morocco, Circa: Mid-20th Century – This handsome mid century modern, vintage Moroccan rug, was woven in the high Atlas mountains of Morocco. This beautiful vintage rug showcases a stark ivory field that is sporadically decorated with ambiguous geometric symbols and partial latticework motifs. Cruciform protection symbols that are used to thwart the forces of the evil eye by cutting their glances in quarters are prominently featured throughout the plush beige background. Symbolic crenellated borders that represent running water enclose the elegantly styled field of this minimalist Moroccan rug, which was created in the mid-20th century. This exquisite Moroccan rug features fluid fringes and a simplistic ivory and chocolate brown color palette that is reminiscent of the elegant ethnic carpets popularized by Ray and Charles Eames, Alvar Aalto and the most influential mid-century designers.
