Vintage Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – This decorative and richly patterned vintage rug from Morocco showcases a grand symmetric series of transitional repeating figures that are rendered in a sleek combination of ivory and robust cocoa brown. This humble selection of soft neutral hues grounds the lively composition and connects the beautifully varied motifs that dance across the field. Crisp latticework tiles, zigzagging stripes with branching extensions and subtly patterned compartments filled with decorative lozenges create a fabulous geometric pattern that is imbued with ancient symbolism. The decorative lozenges, ladder-like zigzag stripes and geometric tiles each represent a symbol that is said to offer protection from wayward spirits and the evil eye.
