Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Crafted during the height of the modern design revolution, this handsome vintage rug from Morocco features an abstract series of subtly shaded color blocks arranged in a daring allover pattern. Irregular swaths, bold checkers and abstract figures are skillfully blended together into one congruent pattern that explores the possibilities created with varying combinations of dark woolly browns, light fleecy whites and buff gray mid-tones. These carefully placed figures create a beautifully balanced allover pattern that exemplifies the timeless style of classically modern designs. Naturalistic color variations and delicate rows of plush ribbed pile create a stunning visual effect while retaining the minimalist features that give this mid-century Moroccan rug its distinctive appearance.
