About the Item

21010 Vintage Beni Mrirt Moroccan Rug, 06'07 x 09'09. This hand-knotted wool vintage Beni Mrirt Moroccan rug—a masterpiece from the Mrirt region in the Middle Atlas Mountains, meticulously crafted by the Beni Mrirt tribe within the expansive tapestry of Morocco's Berber ethnic group. These Moroccan rugs, renowned for their bold, geometric patterns, refined craftsmanship, and monochromatic color schemes, epitomize understated beauty. Bathed in red and salmon hues, the rug unfolds like a canvas of painterly brush strokes, its rich waves of abrash and softly gradated striations running selvage to selvage. This intricate play of colors conjures the mesmerizing imagery of a Moroccan sunset over the desert on a warm night, with the beaming sun tenderly embracing the earth before disappearing beyond the horizon. Allow yourself to be transported to a captivating realm where this Beni Mrirt rug unfolds as your magic carpet ride, weaving tales of an enchanting Moroccan paradise. The vibrant hue of Marrakesh, an Imperial city, is captured in the shade of Red, or Rose, mirroring the natural color of Tabla, a red clay sourced from the Haouz Plains west of the city. This clay, mixed with water and applied to buildings, transforms into a salmon pink shade that gracefully glows in the evening light. The choice of this color is harmonious with Marrakesh's setting on a plain, with the majestic Atlas Mountains creating a dramatic horizon. Beyond its mystical aura, this vintage Moroccan rug becomes a canvas that fuses the spirit of Abstract Expressionism, reminiscent of Mark Rothko's bold blocks of color, with the nomadic charm intrinsic to Berber Tribe artistry. It stands as a testament to the beautiful union of diverse cultures, symbolizing cross-cultural exchange and artistic collaboration. This living embodiment invites you to join the enchanting dance between worlds, celebrating the beauty that emerges from the fusion of unique traditions. Rendered in variegated shades of red, rust, salmon, rose, peach and mauve with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Berber Tribes of Morocco. Beni Mrirt. Measures: 06'07 x 09'09. Date: 1980s. Late 20th Century.
