Rendered in a luxurious combination of woolly brown and ivory, this chic mid-century rug from Morocco features a series of lovely lozenges and latticework panels.

Vintage Moroccan Rug, Origin: Morocco, Circa: Mid 20th Century – This strikingly beautiful vintage mid-century modern vintage Moroccan rug which was created in the high Atlas mountains of Morocco, depicts a grand series of latticework panels and lozenge networks that display outstanding symmetry and incorporate a wonderful variety of creative variations. The delicately textured field is decorated with alluring lozenges and bold rectilinear motifs. Decorative latticework panels crowned with geometric symbols create a unifying repeating motif. These elegant latticework figures are separated by informal stoppers, zigzagging serpentine motifs and geometric symbols that evolve while the panels provide a constant refrain. In a typical Moroccan fashion, this delightful vintage Moroccan rug, from the middle part of the 20th century, incorporates creative variations where figures are deducted and other symbolic motifs are deftly incorporated.
