Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Rendered in a stark combination of ivory and kohl black, this archetypal vintage rug from Morocco features a discontinuous latticework pattern decorated with symbolic lozenges and auspicious protection symbols used to deter malevolent forces. Based on ancient traditions, this exemplary vintage Moroccan rug showcases an expansive latticework pattern decorated with a variety of small and large-scale symbols. Abstract glyphs, branching Tree of Life symbols and auspicious lozenges counterbalance the strong linear motifs and directional lines that are an integral part of the abstract latticework pattern. The formal lozenge-shaped cells create charming niches to frame the Goz symbols, lozenges and secondary protection symbols that dot the achromatic field. This elegant vintage Moroccan rug features a chic neutral color scheme and quirky protection symbols displayed in a thoroughly modern manner.
