Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – The inadvertent modernity of Moroccan designs is exemplified in this profoundly modern vintage mid-century carpet. Stark linear figures, obscured glyphs and speckled families of tightly grouped dots create an intriguing surrealist composition that is abstract and timeless. These sparse less-is-more decorations make way for the sumptuous ribbed pile background. The plush papyrus-colored ground showcases exquisite roan variegation that adds to the textural richness of this extraordinary vintage mid-century Moroccan rug. The restrained neutral color scheme has an ageless beauty while the minimalist designs have an evocative style that defies trends or fads in a true classically modern fashion.
