Fine Vintage Henna-Dyed Beni Ouarain Minimalist Moroccan Berber Rug
About the Item
The Beni Ouarain confederation is composed of seventeen tribes inhabiting the high mountain region of the northeastern Middle Atlas, in northern Morocco. Their rugs differ from other Berber weavings in that they are woven almost exclusively on an ivory background and decorated with abstract geometric motifs in undyed natural brown/black wool. The pattern is typically composed of an all-over grid of lozenges with little or no variation.
This small example departs from the usual type in that the copper-coloured background is obtained by first dyeing the wool in henna pigments. Only the top and bottom strips of the field are woven with two distinct shades of natural undyed wool, of a darker tonality which would normally embellish the ivory field. A very simple yet extremely elegant composition, imbued with special significance. The choice of a particularly soft and precious wool and the precise execution of the weave suggest that this rug must have been commissioned for a special occasion within the tribal society.
