Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – This graphic vintage rug created in Morocco depicts a superb latticework pattern with double outlines and strong kohl black elements set over a papyrus-colored background imbued with warm undertones. The formal latticework pattern is embellished with a rich variety of auspicious berekets and ancient protection symbols. Lozenges embellished with precise gridirons, branching berekets and towering Tree of Life symbols with cypress-like needles travel across the formal latticework cells. These symbolic Tree of Life motifs represent a familiar symbol of longevity associated with cypress trees and evergreens. This vintage Moroccan rug showcases an outstanding variety of symbols arranged in formal rows that add a level of continuity to the beautifully varied composition.
