Vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain Berber Runner 47771

Vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain Berber Runner, Origin: Morocco, Circa: Mid-20th Century – Here is a beautiful vintage rug – a runner woven by the celebrated Beni Ourain tribes-people of Morocco. Featuring a quintessentially traditional Beni Ourain design, this runner is an excellent example of a style of rug making that has proven to be immensely popular for decades, including an extraordinary popularity that continues into the present day. Rugs such as these are especially admired for their minimalist tribal designs, something this particular example certainly features. Indeed, the traditional design found throughout this fetching runner is a wonderful iteration of a school of aesthetics that complements interiors of all styles, most especially mid-century modern geared interiors, which emphasize deconstruction and the power of minimalism. The straightforward color pallet, which consists entirely of the soft ivory tone if the rug itself and the deep brown that goes into defining the detail work, is typical of Beni Ourain rugs, and celebrated for its tremendous versatility. The understated look and feel of the design, which consists primarily of charmingly detailed latticework, is tremendously powerful for it suggests both rigidity and solidness, without to vociferously articulating strength. This opens the piece up for examination and interpretation, making it inherently inviting. A beautiful composition, this vintage runner represents a distinct and intriguing school of rug making.
