Vintage Beni Ourain vintage Moroccan Rug, Country of Origin: Morocco, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century – Delightfully composed, this sophisticated mid-century rug from Morocco features an inventive latticework pattern comprised of tiny linear islands reminiscent of paper chains. The plush ivory field is decorated with an archetypal hue of warm chocolaty brown that is featured in many highly desirable Moroccan rugs, including the luxurious tribal carpets popularized by Alvar Aalto and Le Corbusier. This stylish vintage mid-century rug incorporates a malleable latticework pattern that possesses fluid outlines and irregular contours. These meandering borders create quadrilateral lozenges, hexagonal honeycomb motifs and quirky polygons that are continually evolving. Mountainous zigzagging motifs line the edges of the field complementing the undulating contours of the central latticework pattern that dominates the composition of this posh rug.
