Vintage Moroccan Rug, Country of Origin: Morocco, Circa Date: Mid-Century Modern– Crafted in the Atlas Mountains that fringe the northern shores of Morocco, this vintage carpet embodies the essence of regional designs that are beloved for their vitality, vigor, tribal energy and subtle intangible qualities that make Moroccan carpets such valuable design pieces.
This exquisite example has an abstract visage created by a maelstrom of rectilinear figures. Combs, color blocks, boxes and striated lines form an organic, beautifully varied landscape that is punctuated by turquoise and azure accents with dots of persimmon. The richly decorative visage is luxurious and has delightful tactile qualities that are revealed in the ever-changing selection of ornaments. The soft ivory ground, heavy decorations and unexpected accents are equally suited for light and airy spaces or dark sanctuaries with strong furnishings and saturated colors.
