Vintage Moroccan Rug, Origin: Morocco, Circa: Mid 20th Century – The vintage Moroccan rug, from the middle part of the 20th century, features an array of auspicious geometric symbols said to ward off the evil eye create a dazzling allover pattern that sprawls across the sumptuous ivory field. Grand lozenges form a general medallion structure that is surrounded by chains of adjoining eye motifs. The colorful decorations and strong linear outlines produce a dazzling visual effect. These constantly changing motifs with their unique coloration and varying shapes form a stunning repeating pattern that is delightfully abstract. This playful, improvisational style adds a certain modernity to the composition while incorporating timeless earth-tone colors and ancient protection symbols. The combination of enigmatic tribal glyphs and modern design principles has helped mid-century Moroccan rugs become essential pieces in contemporary interiors.
