Vintage Berber Moroccan Beni Ourain Rug, 07'01 x 13'01

About the Item

74727 Vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan Rug, 07’01 x 13’01. This vintage hand-knotted wool Beni Ourain Moroccan rug invites you into a world where Midcentury Modern aesthetics and nomadic charm converge with ancient Berber symbolism. Set upon a neutral beige field, the intricate diamond trellis pattern, created with dark brown and brick red lines, gracefully stretches across the rug. This lozenge lattice design is more than just a visual delight—it’s a nod to the rich traditions of Moroccan craftsmanship, evoking a sense of balance and harmony while showcasing the artistic flair of the Beni Ourain tribe. Framing this beautiful piece is a Greek-T meander border, also referred to as the snake border, which symbolizes male protection. The presence of this border encapsulates the central motifs, which are steeped in femininity and ancient representations of womanhood. This interplay between the masculine and feminine speaks to the Berber traditions where such designs reflect the dynamic between fertility, family, and the sacred bond of protection. The diamond motifs within the trellis, seemingly simple in their structure, are deeply rooted in Berber culture. Traditionally believed to ward off negative energy and serve as protective charms, these lozenges represent a symbolic enclosure of feminine power, fertility, and the nurturing essence of womanhood. The repetition of these motifs, with their interwoven lines, also brings a sense of rhythm and fluidity, echoing the graceful, nomadic spirit of the Beni Ourain tribe. As a timeless piece, this vintage Moroccan rug transcends its functional purpose to become an enchanting statement of history and cultural identity. Its neutral palette ensures its adaptability within modern interiors, while its rich symbolism offers a glimpse into an ancient world of art and meaning. Whether gracing the floor of a Midcentury Modern-inspired space or bringing warmth to a contemporary home, this rug is a testament to the enduring beauty of Moroccan craftsmanship, rooted in both protection and femininity. Rendered in variegated shades of beige, black, and coffee with other neutral colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Beni Ourain. Berber Tribes of Morocco. Measures: 07'01 x 13'01. Date: 1950's. Mid-20th Century.
