Ivory Room Size Contemporary Modern Moroccan Beni Ourain Shag Rug 48062

A Soft And Decorative Room Size Modern Contemporary Moroccan Rug, Country of Origin: Morocco, Circa Date: Early 21st Century – Here is a vibrant and quintessentially composed contemporary modern Moroccan carpet. Characterized by a traditional Moroccan composition in which an ivory field supports abstract line work of dark brown, this contemporary rug beautifully communicated the finer point of the traditional Moroccan style. Rugs and carpets have been woven in Morocco for centuries, most notably by the Beni Ourain peoples of the Atlas Mountains. The people responsible for the development of Berber carpet making, the Beni Ourain are famous in the rug world for their exciting and daring carpets, which are both minimalist and evocative of modern design trends while also possessing a cultural and historical verisimilitude. The fascinating manner in which the line work is arranged is deeply evocative; the lack of regularity in spacing gives the entire composition a hint of the abstract. That such a simply composed work could communicate so much is a testament both to the power of minimalist design, as well as to the design sensibilities of the Beni Ourain. A wonderful contemporary Moroccan rug, this piece is a comely and authentic example of an important and popular style.
