Rare and Unusual Vintage Geometric Beni Ouarain Moroccan Berber White/Mocha Rug

About the Item

The Beni Ouarain confederation is composed of seventeen tribes inhabiting the northeastern 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. The present example shows an extremely unusual design by any standards, where the pattern is composed of a series of horizontal, chequered compartments each containing a chain of half lozenges. The result looks like a knotted rendition of cracked ice, as the half lozenges don't match each other precisely in symmetry. A rare and unusual piece in excellent condition that is both a collector's item as well as a genius work of nomadic design.
