Beni Ourain Vintage Moroccan Rug, Country Of Origin: Morocco, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century – Displaying abstract iconography and distinctive minimalist tendencies, this vintage mid-century Moroccan rug embodies the essence of these beloved carpets, which enjoy perpetual popularity. This exquisite vintage rug features a graphic latticework trellis with secondary embellishments that create a striking pattern-in-a-pattern effect. Crisscrossing pickets give the central latticework figures a textural checkered appearance. The thick, heavily colored lines are juxtaposed against symbolic variants and tribal embellishments that create a softly colored frame and intimated border. Towering tree motifs, lozenge chains, latch-hook figures and tribal symbols add to the cultural and stylistic richness of this iconography carpet. These truly ageless patterns and geometric figures have been used in Moroccan carpets for years and date back as far as Neolithic times, yet they’ve found a new place in modern living rooms and cutting-edge interior designs.
