Vintage Square Moroccan Rug, Country of Origin: Morocco, Circa Date: Mid-Twentieth Century – Here is rich, intriguing vintage carpet – a mid-century composition from Morocco. Moroccan rugs and carpets – and especially mid-century Moroccan rugs and carpets – are prized by collectors and designers for their unique aesthetic, which showcases a coming-together of traditional, tribal notions of beauty with more modern conceptions. This is largely due to the stark minimalism that characterizes so many mid-century Moroccan rugs and carpets, which often feature very little traditional ornamentation. Characterized by the beautiful ivory field and dark detail work that typifies this style, this square shaped Moroccan carpet is a representative piece, but with some surprises. In addition to the traditional utilization of dark brown detail lines, this fetching Moroccan intriguingly incorporates shades of yellow to excellent effect. Subtly contrasting with the ivory, this delicate yellow adds depth and body to the dark brown detail work without taking away from the beautiful field. Delightfully modern and abstract, this Moroccan carpet beautifully embodies the qualities that make these style carpets so sought after around the world.
