Large Beni Ourain Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Contemporary – Here is a beautiful contemporary carpet – a large scale Beni Ourain rug, woven in Morocco in the height of that style. Beni Ourain Moroccan rugs have long been admired for their unique aesthetics, which stress minimalism, abstraction, and traditional, tribal design. Due to a renewed interest in mid-century modern aesthetic preferences among contemporary designers and homeowners, Moroccan carpets woven in this style have enjoyed a surge in popularity in recent years, and are increasingly valued for their cultural authenticity and tremendous versatility. This particular Beni Ourain carpet is a great example of some of the more desirable design trends that embody by that style, featuring a beautiful ivory field, intriguingly detailed with the deep-brown line work that is so desirable in these rugs. Arranged in an unorthodox lattice-like formation, the line work here gives the rug a solidity and a strong sense of structure.
