About the Item
21355 Vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan Rug, 06'01 x 12'06. Originating from the esteemed Beni Ourain tribe in Morocco, these intricately crafted rugs honor tradition with meticulous attention to detail, utilizing untreated sheep's wool to infuse spaces with enduring charm. Embellished with subtle geometric patterns, such as diamond or lozenge shapes, they elegantly enrich tranquil environments in soothing tones of beige or cream.

Infused with the simplicity and plushness characteristic of Mid-Century Modern style, this hand-knotted wool vintage Berber Beni Ourain Moroccan rug embodies a captivating blend of woven beauty and tribal enchantment.

Rich in historical significance and steeped in Ancient Berber symbolism, this vintage Beni Ourain rug bears witness to a bygone era while embracing timeless themes of protection and femininity. The rectangular bands along the vertical sides pay homage to the male presence within Moroccan rugs, framing and enclosing the female motifs in a symbolic representation of fertility, protection, and familial sanctuary. This harmonious interplay between male and female motifs reflects the unity and balance inherent in Berber culture, adding layers of depth and meaning to the rug's narrative.
