Outstanding Vintage Moroccan Berber Beni Ouarain Rug in White and Black
About the Item
The Beni Ouarain confederation is composed of seventeen tribes inhabiting the northeastern portion of the Middle Atlas mountains in 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 outstanding example is woven with wool of the best kind, lush and silky, allowing for a very fine knotting giving a very elegant surface with a short pile height. It's distinguished by an extremely well balanced contrast between the snow white background and the honeycomb arrangement of dark black clusters of diamonds, the latter being partly concealed by the surrounding ivory pile. The visual impression is that of a rug conceived by a Scandinavian designer rather than a Berber weaver and is certainly among there ones that are closer in spirit to Mid-Century Modern design.
