About the Item

A minimalist vintage Beni Alaham featuring coupled large-scale lozenge motifs comprised of banded square forms. Vertical chains of double triangles hold the composition, forming symbols of protection. Woven in a mixture of deep neutral browns on an ivory ground. All wool with some pile loss throughout and a few minor repairs lend patina and character to the piece. 100% wool. The Beni Alaham are a small sub-tribe of the Beni Ouarain confederacy. Residing in the Middle Atlas range southeast of Ahermoumou, the carpets of this tribe can be influenced by their Middle Atlas Berber Berber neighbors and tend to be on the more minimal side in regards to motif structures. We only find one or two examples from this tribe per year. These are among the most coveted and collectible Middle Atlas weaving examples. All of our inventory is hand selected in Morocco. We curate the best possible selection of vintage Berber carpets available. Our entire collection of carpets and textiles is located in Brooklyn, New York. All of our pieces are professionally cleaned and restored prior to coming to market. We ship anywhere in the world within two weeks.
