Vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain Beige Wool Floor Rug

About the Item

This vintage handwoven Moroccan Berber Beni Ourain area rug features a simple deep charcoal and brown line diamond lattice pattern on a cream field. The thick wool pile is soft and supple and the rug is finished with a natural wool warp fringe to one end. The neutral colors and minimalist and timeless design will complement any contemporary style of decor, from mid century modern to boho to global. Handcrafted by women artisans from the Middle Atlas Mountain region of Morocco, Beni Ourain rugs were traditionally used as bedding to keep warm in the cold winter months. They are handwoven from undyed, natural wool and feature a characteristic ivory or cream field with a simple geometric diamond pattern line design in henna-like brown or black, which is woven from undyed wool from black sheep. The asymmetry and subtle variations in line thickness make each Beni Ourain rug one-of-a-kind. Their neutral tones and elegant minimalist design made them a favorite of mid-century modernist designers such as Alvar Aalto, Charles & Ray Eames, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier. Inherently organic and eco-friendly, they continue to be popular today.

  • Vintage Moroccan Tribal Orange Wool Floor Rug
    Located in Detroit, MI
    This beautiful vintage handwoven Moroccan Berber rug is circa mid-20th century. It features a symmetrical banded geometric design infused with tribal symbolism in gorgeous shades of orange, red, pink, green, gray, brown and cream with gray fringe to both ends and tufts of decorative side fringe. The timeless design of this unique rug will complement any style of contemporary decor, from mid century modern and southwest to boho and global. Moroccan Berber rugs are handwoven by women artisans from the Berber tribes of the Atlas mountains of Morocco. Berber tribal rugs are one-of-a-kind pieces, woven from naturally dyed and undyed sheep’s wool. Lacking a written language, ancient Berber weavers would incorporate ancestral myths into their textiles using abstract images and symbols. This magic symbolism and a minimalist design give these Berber carpets their unique and timeless appeal.
