Embellished with subtle geometric motifs, such as diamond or lozenge shapes, they elegantly enrich tranquil environments in calming shades of beige or cream.

Infused with the essence of both Midcentury Modern style and tribal enchantment, this hand-knotted wool vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan rug presents a captivating vision of woven beauty.

Against an abrashed beige field, the rug showcases a lozenge lattice adorned with ambiguous motifs, evoking the mystical allure of tribal symbolism. Framed with a tribal border along the vertical sides, this classic design pays homage to Berber Tribe tradition, blending seamlessly with Midcentury Modern aesthetics. The composition subtly incorporates male motifs on the outer portions, framing and enclosing the female motifs, symbolizing themes of fertility, protection, and familial sanctuary, deepening the rug's cultural significance.
As a symbol of both artistic expression and cultural heritage, this vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan rug invites you to embark on a journey through time and tradition. Its fusion of Midcentury Modern style and tribal enchantment creates a harmonious balance between past and present, offering a glimpse into the rich fabric of Moroccan craftsmanship and symbolism.
