Moroccan Rug N11305 13'0" × 17'0" $26,000

A tribute to mid-20th century rugs, this Moroccan carpet captures the attention thanks to its original pattern. Stripped black and white diamonds repeated on the carpet’s surface seem rich despite their simplicity. The weaver decided not to feature spaces between the figures, making this composition very solid and organized. Carpet’s slight lack of symmetry is an effect of hand-weaving and thus a good indicator of its quality. After all, woolen fibers make it very durable. Simple black and white coloring make this carpet a good choice for a modern-themed interior, as it won’t disturb the balance. Moroccan weaving art came a long way from its origins. First, a secret of nomad tribes and now a treasure to be enjoyed by all people.
