Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Created in Morocco, this luxurious vintage rug features a richly textural field decorated with a simplistic latticework pattern. Symbolic figures and geometric glyphs, including checkered windowpanes, fetter symbols, and a motley assortment of ancient patterns, decorate each lozenge-shaped cell. Decorative fringes and ancient symbols add a quirky tribal air to the minimalist composition, which utilizes the iconic ivory and Kohl black color scheme popularized and publicized by Le Corbusier. Rendered in a classic Moroccan style, this inventive rug features a versatile achromatic color scheme and geometric latticework pattern embellished with symbolic charms that represent thousands of years of superstition, culture and tradition.
