Vintage Mid Century Modern Moroccan Rug – Glowing with a fiery luminosity, this vintage Moroccan rug is stealing the spotlight this week. Balancing a neutral background with bold oranges and tangerine colors, its has a dramatic abstract effect and a comfy, vintage shag rug feel.
“It looks like a modern art painting,” Nazmiyal’s Omri Schwartz says of the piece. “It’s very Zen-like.”
The brilliant colors, combined with the milky ivory pile makes this a surprising statement piece that works especially well with mid-century modern design. Use it in the living room to liven a muted sofa, or in the office for that extra pop of creativity-inducing color.
Distinct and primitive patterns like the one seen here are part of the celebrated history of vintage Moroccan rugs. While they are younger than other antique rugs, these carpets are handcrafted by skilled weavers who have carried the trade through generations. The result is a collection of rugs that are individually unique, yet versatile enough to stand the test of time – and the ever changing trends of interior design.
Styled in an exuberant mid-century manner, this brilliant vintage Moroccan rug features a fabulous combination of rich colors, strong lines and sumptuous textures that create a dramatic abstract pattern. The bold assemblage of mottled color blocks and fragmented figures has a fluid, mutable style that glows with a fiery luminosity. Saturated tangerine color blocks, cool mineral blue accents and deep auburn browns are strongly offset by the subtly colored neutral background. Sumptuous layers of milky ivory pile and dramatic roan speckles emphasize the decorative patterns and textural variations that give this artful mid-century Moroccan rug an exuberant, experimental style. The bold layered composition has a profound modernity that is youthful, exuberant and strong enough to function as a delightful statement piece.
