Vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan Rug, Nomadic Charm Meets Midcentury Modern Style

About the Item

20656 Vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain Rug, 06'00 x 11'09. Originating from the Beni Ourain tribe, an integral part of the broader Berber ethnic group in Morocco, these Moroccan rugs are meticulously crafted using natural, undyed sheep's wool with a simple diamond trellis or lozenge shapes. The intricate patterns come to life through the meticulous weaving of dark-colored wool, adding depth and character to these distinctive creations. In the captivating realm where nomadic charm converges with Midcentury Modern style, behold this hand-knotted wool vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan rug—a piece that seamlessly blends Shibui aesthetics with tribal enchantment. The inherent lozenge lattice and subdued neutral tones woven into this textile create an atmosphere of utmost coziness, marrying traditional allure with a contemporary edge. The triple lines, delicately traversing in an organic dance, intertwine to form a refined and understated diamond trellis, an ode to the beauty found in simplicity. Each lozenge compartment houses an X-shape, a subtle nod to female attributes and fertility, echoing the tribal essence. These diamonds, akin to watchful guardians or bodies with arms and legs outspread, bear the mystery of Berber Tribe symbols—intensely personal and open to interpretation. Framed by a modest border along the vertical sides and adorned with fringe on one end, this vintage Beni Ourain rug not only complements Midcentury furnishings with harmonious elegance but also brings a textural touch to minimalist decor. Beyond its aesthetic allure, this Moroccan rug, initially woven for winter warmth, weaves a profound connection to the nomadic Berber tribe's rich history. Rendered in variegated shades of beige, brown, and tan with other neutral colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Berber Tribes of Morocco. Beni Ouarain. Measures: 06'00 x 11'09. Date: 1950s. Mid-20th Century.
