Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Boldly colored and intricately patterned, this brilliant vintage mid-century Moroccan rug depicts a grand repeating pattern comprised of vivid harlequin lozenges rendered in contrasting colors. Abstract checkers, unpredictable variations and colorful lozenges outlined in contrasting colors create a graphic allover pattern that combines bright, bold colors with a modern, abstract composition. Earth-tone neutrals, saturated jewel tones and bold safety-color yellows are artfully combined in contrasting arrangements. This classically Moroccan rug incorporates brilliant colors, abstract shapes, formal lozenges and inventive variations that create a modern result with rustic tribal influences that provide a sense of originality and creativity that is highly desirable in today’s prefab culture.
