About the Item

An unusual vintage Moroccan Beni Ouarain carpet featuring a pair of vertical bands of V-formations segmented by elaborate chain motifs in two distinct styles. The pattern is inset at one end, lending an intriguing visual pause by the weaver. Knotted in ivory and charcoal shifting to a deep brown in some areas. Low-pile accentuates the graphic feel of the piece. Constructed of all wool with a lustrous hand and soft patina. The nomadic Beni Ouarain tribe produces some of the finest quality rugs in Morocco. Characteristically woven of natural ivory and black or brown wool as the pattern, these dense Berber rugs show an archaic symbolism that dates back to the earliest forms of art and writing. Known for their simplistic lozenge patterns, these motifs are a link to some of the oldest discovered human artifacts, including the ancient Venus figurines of Stone Age Europe. The Beni Ouarain weave with a double knot technique which allows for a thicker pile construction and added insulation from the cold. These rugs are used for family beds and could be folded over to provide protection from frigid temperatures. 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 before coming to market. We ship anywhere in the world within two weeks.
