Sumptuous textures, stark colors, ancient symbols and graphic achromatic patterns are artfully combined in this archetypal mid-century rug from Morocco.

Vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan Rug, Country of Origin: Morocco, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century – This quintessential mid century modern, Moroccan Beni Ourain vintage rug, depicts a charming linear latticework pattern decorated with cryptic symbols and enigmatic glyphs. Deep volcanic brown details are placed against a sumptuous ivory colored field creating a high contrast pattern that maximizes the achromatic color scheme. The graphic lozenge-shaped cells are decorated with cryptic symbols, bird’s foot motifs, linear glyphs and subtle Tree of Life patterns. Bold end pieces line the edges of the composition augmenting the simplistic latticework motifs that adorn the field. This fantastic mid-century Beni Ourain vintage Moroccan rug highlights the simple versatility of achromatic colors that can be featured in an endless variety of permutations that are equally pleasing and inherently modern.
