Radiant checkered lozenges paired with a rich variety of ancient protection symbols rendered in novel colors decorate this outstanding vintage rug from Morocco.

Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – This phenomenal vintage Moroccan rug features a vivid carmine field paired with khaki brown details, cool blue-gray accents and calming neutrals. The casual composition captures a multitude of radiant checkered lozenges arranged in stacked columns that are placed across the field at strategic intervals. Large- and small-scale motifs create a high-impact pattern using a fairly limited color scheme. Rectilinear sandikli motifs that are often used to represent trousseaus break up the airy stacked lozenges that soar across the length of the field. This innovative vintage rug from Morocco depicts ancient protection symbols and radiant lozenges rendered a variety of novel colors. Classic flat-woven end pieces bookend the field highlighting the beautiful marriage of tradition and innovation this vibrant vintage Moroccan rug exudes.
