Moroccan Carpet, Origin: Morocco, Contemporary – Here is a beautiful contemporary Moroccan rug, woven in the style of the Beni Ourain tribes people, some of the most important rug weavers of all time. Featuring a lovely, representative ivory field, simply decorated with a series of crisscrossing diagonal lines, this charming Moroccan rug expresses some of the finest aesthetic tendencies of Beni Ourain carpets. The bright and simple field of ivory makes this rug truly versatile, as does the series of eccentric, crisscrossing diagonal lines. Subtly abstract, this Moroccan rug also features an intriguing characteristic of certain Beni Ourain carpets, which, through subtle and simple embellishments in certain line arrangements, are able to suggest a sort of post-modern aesthetic, in which the conventional is traded for the delightfully idiosyncratic. A wonderful example of the Beni Ourain Moroccan rug style, this carpet delights with a minimal, subtly abstract composition.
