Vintage White Beni Ouarain Moroccan Berber Rug

About the Item

The Beni Ouarain confederation is composed of seventeen tribes inhabiting the high mountain region of the northeastern Middle Atlas in 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 with little or no variation. The design here is composed of an asymmetrical honeycomb arrangement of diamonds of irregular shape, creating an abstract network of lozenges which give an impression of three-dimensionality. The pattern is obtained with natural undyed wool, here in a shade of mocha brown which is mixed in two different proportions, transitioning towards the end to a combination yielding a more contrasting pattern. A genuine old Beni Ouarain weaving of great elegance and wonderful patina.
