Vintage Moroccan Rug

Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century - This stunning vintage rug from Morocco features a fantastic series of beautiful repeating patterns that create a unique optical illusion through their strong geometry and tribal style. Lozenges created by checkers filled with diagonal stripes arranged in alternating directions create a bold pattern of inset goz symbols. In a characteristically Moroccan style, this spectacular rug features mutable patterns and flexible variations that change as they cross the field. The variable repeating pattern includes a series of smaller zigzag motifs and inset lozenge details that incorporate multiple design variations. This outstanding tribal contribution to the op-art era features a classic combination of fleecy brown and ivory paired with colorful fringes and woven ends that are exceptionally modern.
