6 x 10 - Green Vintage Moroccan Rug - 20967

20967 Vintage Green Beni Ourain Moroccan Rug, 06'01 x 10'02.

In the heart of the North-Eastern Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco, skilled women from the Beni Ourain and various Berber tribes meticulously hand-weave Beni Ourain rugs, honoring a timeless artistry passed down through generations and embracing sustainable interior design practices.

A harmonious blend of nomadic charm and Biophilic Design defines this hand-knotted wool vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain rug. The intricate lozenge lattice and earthy color palette work in unison to create an irresistibly cozy ambiance. Rich striations of tan and light green form the backdrop for the detailed diamond trellis. Striking lines of red, orange, and brown converge to shape a bold lozenge lattice, while symbolic confetti is scattered throughout, traditionally representing the desire for conception. Surrounding the vintage Moroccan rug, simple red and orange lines create a frame, symbolizing the male's protective presence.

This vintage Beni Ourain rug is a woven wonder of historical richness, adorned with Ancient Berber symbolism. Traditional symbols of protection and femininity grace the design, with bands along the vertical sides signifying the male's presence. In Moroccan rugs, the juxtaposition of male motifs framing the composition and enclosing female motifs symbolizes fertility, protection, and the sanctity of the family. Each symbol contributes to the narrative, weaving a story of cultural heritage and connection to nature.
