20768 Vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain Rug, 06'04 x 11'01. Step into the realm of Midcentury Modern sophistication with this hand-knotted wool vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain rug. Across the abrashed cream field, two columns of diamond lattices unfold, framed by double-outlined zig-zag lines that gracefully form irregular lozenges, flanking a serene center area. The clever use of negative space ensures the prominence of bold tribal designs. A dark espresso border adds a touch of order and definition, creating a timeless composition rooted in Moroccan tradition.
The simplicity of this classic design belies its rich cultural heritage. Tribal symbols, including diamonds, chevrons, and X-shapes—each carrying connotations of womanhood and fertility—interweave into a meaningful and elegant network. With its minimalist ethos, expressive design, and neutral color palette, this versatile Beni Ourain rug becomes a focal point in any space, anchoring it with clean sophistication and graphic allure. Inspired by the design principles of Le Corbusier or Mies van der Rohe, this piece seamlessly marries tradition and modernity.
