Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid-Century – This dazzling vintage Moroccan rug is an exemplary representation of the graphic geometric patterns and abstract designs that make Berber rugs so enduring and popular. These seemingly modern designs are rooted deep in history and pique our natural fascination with ethnographic arts, worldly curios and artifacts that hint at the past of humanity. The soft earthy ground is adorned with a scrawling latticework pattern that displays a multitude of abstract variations. This quintessential Moroccan pattern, which is repeated throughout their world, features organic, ever-changing details that reflect a uniquely Moroccan way of viewing this living handcraft. Sliced-lozenge end pieces provide a one-sided closure that incorporates familiar duality motifs. This esoteric sense of balance is mirrored in the earthy neutral colors and soft textures that use stippled lines and the tiniest details to great effect.
