Vintage Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – This stunning vintage mid-century rug depicts a delightful and classically modern pattern of bold rectilinear blocks skewered by bold bars. In a traditional Moroccan fashion, each row of skewered squares features a unique theme. Solid squares, hollow blocks, divided quadrilaterals and intimated blocks comprised of linear hash marks decorate the field at precise intervals. Each row of skewered squares features a formal staggered arrangement that adds a mod influence to this elegant mid-century carpet. The bold stripes and rectilinear compartments are emboldened by the strong ribbed pile, which adds layers of texture to the richly decorated field.
