Vintage minimalist Moroccan Beni Ouarain carpet curated by Breuckelen Berber

About the Item

A warm and minimal vintage Beni Ouarain featuring four zig zag chains of rectangles that run in tandem, visually creating a pair of larger scale lozenge bands (and illusion of a third). Delicate bar and rectangular motifs frame the composition in an unusual copper tone. This carpet is knotted in a warm ivory, dark brown, and copper wool with an incredibly lustrous patina and silky hand. 100% wool construction The nomadic Beni Ouarain tribe produces some of the finest quality rugs in all of Morocco. Characteristically woven of natural ivory and black or brown wool as the pattern, these dense Berber rugs show an archaic symbolism that dates back to the earliest forms of art and writing. Known for their simplistic lozenge patterns, these motifs are a link to some of the oldest discovered human artifacts, including the ancient Venus figurines of stone age Europe. The Beni Ouarain weave with a double knot technique which allows for a thicker pile construction and added insulation from the cold. These rugs are used for family beds and could be folded over to provide protection from frigid temperatures. All of our inventory is hand selected in Morocco. We curate the best possible selection of vintage Berber carpets available. Our entire collection of carpets and textiles is located in Brooklyn, New York. All of our pieces are professionally cleaned and restored prior to coming to market. We ship anywhere in the world within two weeks.
