Vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain Rug, Midcentury Modern Meets Nomadic Charm

About the Item

20858 Vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain Rug, 05'09 x 09'05. This vintage Moroccan rug hails from the Beni Ourain tribe, an integral part of the broader Berber ethnic group in Morocco. Meticulously crafted from natural, undyed sheep's wool, these rugs are celebrated for their distinctive and minimalist designs. Typically, Beni Ourain rugs showcase geometric patterns, such as uncomplicated diamond or lozenge shapes, set against a neutral background—often in ivory or cream—with the patterns intricately woven using dark-colored wool. This hand-knotted wool vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain rug boasts an enchanting all-over diamond lattice pattern adorned with a medley of ambiguous motifs: lozenges, diamonds, X-shapes, chevrons, snakes, rectangles, combs, ladders, crosses, cruciforms, and burdock symbols. Its borders feature a ladder and snake motif, symbolizing the male presence, a common feature in Moroccan rugs where male motifs often frame and enclose the female symbols. This artistic arrangement can be interpreted as symbolizing fertility, protection, and the sanctity of family life. Beyond its seemingly simple exterior, this exquisite Moroccan rug is steeped in cultural significance and layered meanings. Rendered in variegated shades of beige, black, purple, orange, charcoal and ochre with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Berber Tribes of Morocco. Beni Ourain. Measures: 05'09 x 09'05. Date: 1960s. Mid-20th Century.
