Cream Wool Shag Pile Vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain Rug 47207

Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid-Twentieth Century – This prototypical vintage rug from Morocco fits a classical, internationally known model of minimalist glamour. From Paris and Copenhagen to Helsinki and beyond, Moroccan rugs in this vein were prized for their attractive simplicity and unexpected modernity. This understated work has a timeless, versatile appearance produced by the soft achromatic fleece and restrained latticework pattern that fills the narrow composition beautifully. Tufts of sumptuous pile form overlapping rows and give the linear decorations a rough, chalky appearance that becomes an important part of the textural rich surface. Soft colors and geometric designs emphasize the sleek, understated style of this classically modern creation. These understated designs have a timeless allure and restrained style that minimizes the tribal feel but retains the rustic, organic style and textures that are indispensable design assets.
