About the Item

The Beni Ouarain is a confederation of seventeen tribes inhabiting the high mountain region of the northeastern Middle Atlas, in northern Morocco. Their rugs differ from other Berber weavings in that they are woven almost exclusively on an ivory background and decorated with abstract geometric motifs in undyed natural brown/black wool. The pattern is typically composed of an all-over grid of lozenges, sometimes embellished with abstract geometric motifs. It is one of the most refined expressions of the little known tribal textile art of Morocco. This example is distinguished for the use of a very fine and silky quality of Moroccan highland wool. It's in full pile so it's a real pleasure for the senses. Moreover it's characterised by a very unusual small, squarish format, which can be extremely useful in today's interiors.
