Minimalist Natural White Cross Red Talisman Vintage Authentic Moroccan Area Rug

About the Item

Beautiful creamy white antique Moroccan rug with classical brown cross designs forming diamonds. Beautiful minimalist, modern style. This is one of the softest and purest white Moroccan rugs we have. It has beautiful sheen from the natural wool's lanolin, which creates a silky effect. Long braided tassels hang from one end. Handmade by the Beni Ourain tribe from the most northeastern part of the Middle Atlas of Morocco around the 1980-90s, late 20th century. Featuring a bright red talisman emblem to ward off evil spirits and serve as a protective symbol. This is a very personal tradition, where the women weaving the rugs would incorporate some of their clothing or even hair to bring good fortune to the user of the rug, often her husband or family member. This is not a commercially produced Moroccan rug, it was made by the tribes for their own use. Perfect for contemporary use, whether in a midcentury modern space or a contemporary interior. Also could be used as a tapestry or wall hanging. Whether used as a wall hanging or a rug on the floor, this is a high quality, beautiful and captivating authentic piece. This rug could look wonderful styled in a beach house or a ski lodge. Highly versatile, this is a timeless look. Made of handspun wool from sheep in the high mountains, this rug has a thick shag of lustrous soft wool with dense pile and solid structure. The glossy wool and natural raw colors give this rug a captivating effect. In excellent condition for its age and is a fine collectible rug. A one of a kind, unique handmade carpet. This Moroccan carpet is part of Carini Carpets Moroccan carpet collection specially curated by Joseph Carini. On his travels around the world, Carini curates a collection of fine and rare vintage textiles and rugs, forming Joseph Carini's Private Reserve Collection. He is enamored by ancient techniques, natural dyes, and cultural symbology. Dimensions: 6'2" (W) x 9'4" (L) Materials: Wool Reference #37268
