Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – This sophisticated vintage rug from Morocco depicts a minimalist latticework pattern rendered in an archetypal combination of ivory and walnut brown that is found in many decorative and highly desirable rugs from the region, including those selected by influential European designers. Bilinear outlines emphasize the formal latticework pattern and heighten the strong contrast created by the dark woolly brown accents and soft ivory-colored background. Isolated hourglass motifs, subtle trilateral devices, zigzagging details, angular turrets and abstract glyphs decorate the stark latticework cells adding to the interest of the minimalist allover pattern and stark harlequin lozenges that are superimposed over the plush ivory field.
