EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning carpet hails from Morocco, dating back to the late 19th century. The precise creation date and the name of the artist or weaver who brought this masterpiece to life remain a mystery, adding to its allure and intrigue. The carpet's rich history is evident in its vibrant colors and intricate design, which showcase the unique artistic heritage of Morocco. Originating from the region of Rabat, this Moroccan carpet is a testament to the country's long-standing tradition of weaving and textile production. Crafted using a technique known as Turkish Ghiordes knots, the carpet features a wool plain weave foundation with supplementary wrapping wefts that create a cut pile effect. The result is a soft, plush texture that invites touch and admiration. The carpet's design is a visual feast for the eyes, with a geometric pattern that is both complex and harmonious. The use of bold, contrasting colors adds depth and dimension to the piece, making it a captivating addition to any art collection or gallery. As a significant object from Africa's nineteenth century, this Moroccan carpet is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that the continent has contributed to the world. Its presence in a prestigious art institution such as the Art Institute of Chicago is a testament to its enduring value and importance in the global art world.
