Vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan Rug, Mid-Century Modern Style Meets Tribal Allure

About the Item

74512 Vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan Rug, 05'09 x 10'00. Crafted with precision and care, Beni Ourain rugs are meticulously hand-woven by the skilled women of the Beni Ourain and various Berber tribes nestled in the North-Eastern Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Drawing inspiration from the rich weaving traditions of the Beni Ourain nomadic tribe, these rugs embody a timeless artistry passed down through generations. This hand knotted wool vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan rug seamlessly weaves together disparate elements, encapsulating the essence of Midcentury Modern influence with its sumptuous pile and refined simplicity. Representing a splendid example of Beni Ourain craftsmanship, it features a clean and sophisticated composition. The natural sheep's wool forms an off-white, beige background that elegantly contrasts with purple and red lines. A favorite among interior designers, decorators, and discerning homeowners, these Moroccan rugs are celebrated for their minimalist color palette and design, adding both warmth and texture to modern and contemporary spaces. In the 1930s, visionaries like Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, and Charles and Ray Eames introduced plush Moroccan rugs to interior spaces, providing a counterbalance to their sleek leather and chrome furniture designs. Originally used for practical purposes like protection from the cold as floor and sleeping rugs, these plush Moroccan carpets have transcended their utilitarian origins and found a cherished place in contemporary homes. The mid to late twentieth century witnessed a resurgence of appreciation for mid-century modernism, and these rugs, whether adorning floors or hung as wall art, serve as story-filled talismans in our everyday lives. The unique allure of these tribal carpets lies in the seamless blend of minimalist utility and magical symbolism, offering a timeless appeal that captivates and enriches our living spaces. Rendered in variegated shades of beige, purple and red with other neutral colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Berber Tribes of Morocco. Beni Ourain. Measures: 05'09 x 10'00. Date: 1960s. Mid-20th Century.
