6 x 8 - Vintage Moroccan Rug - 20468

With its Mid-Century Modern style and tribal motifs based on ancient traditions, this vintage Beni Ourain connects the feel of nomadic tribe history with today’s interiors. While they display some of the same aesthetic tendencies previously celebrated by modern artists, they are indeed tribal compositions which have played importance to the Berber people for centuries. Featuring a plush pile and symbolic Berber Tribe motifs, this Beni Ourain rug does an excellent job of communicating the finer points of Mid-Century Modern style. Rendered in creamy vanilla, beige, oxblood red, orange, brown, red, taupe, black with a navy accent. While the patterns may seem whimsical and random – they are very significant to the rug weaver’s life. The Berber women incorporate design elements from their personal experience into the rugs designs. The symbols are usually references to events and aspects of their daily life such as beliefs, birth, fertility, nature, femininity, life and spirituality. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Berber Tribes of Morocco. Beni Ourain. Measures: 05'09 x 07'10.
