Modernist Vintage Square Rug with Polychrome Thunderbolt Pattern

About the Item

A very rare and unusual village rug characterized by a design composed of parallel multicolored zig-zag elements similar to thunderbolts. Patterns such as this were probably inspired by the geometric designs of the Art Deco period and are an example of how European modernism became fashionable in the near East.
