Vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan Rug, Cozy Nomad Meets Midcentury Modern

About the Item

20852 Vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain Rug, 06'08 x 12'02. Mid-Century Modern design seamlessly intertwines with tribal allure in this hand knotted wool vintage Moroccan Beni Ouarain rug. The diamond trellis and subdued hues woven into this piece harmonize, creating a contemporary aesthetic with a strong emphasis on unparalleled coziness. The beige canvas unfolds a lozenge lattice, marked by bold, substantial lines that form squares, accentuated by additional diamonds and ambiguous motifs within some compartments. Rich in historical depth and steeped in Ancient Berber symbolism, this Beni Ourain rug embodies traditional symbols of protection, femininity, and conception. Framed by a checkered square motif border and adorned with light fringe on either side, the rug achieves a harmonious completion. Deceptively simple yet profoundly meaningful, the motifs within this Beni Ourain rug hold significant value in Moroccan traditional design. Tribal symbols such as diamonds, chevrons, and X-shapes, predominantly featured in the central area, typically symbolize womanhood and fertility. The columns of squares or dash-marks along the sides traditionally represent the male presence, often framing and enclosing the female motifs. This dynamic presentation serves as a symbolic representation of fertility, protection, and the sanctuary of the family. The depth of meaning encapsulated in this bold and clean form makes Moroccan rugs, like this vintage Beni Ourain, exceptional additions to contemporary interiors. With its Mid-Century Modern style, expressive design, and neutral color palette, this rug serves as a grounding presence, blending sophistication and graphic allure—an ideal complement to spaces inspired by Mid-Century Modern artists. Rendered in variegated shades of beige, black, brown and orange with other neutral colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Berber Tribes of Morocco. Beni Ourain. Measures: 06'08 x 12'02. Date: 1950s. Mid-20th Century.
