Vintage Tribal Berber Beni Ourain Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century — This Vintage Moroccan Rug is methodically detailed in earth tones. The small and simple embellishments take us back to tell the story of a rustic artisan who needed simple detail and nothing more. Their hands worked the material to create the jagged lines and stripped geometric shapes that exist as naturally on the piece as fallen leaves in nature. The negative space between the two largest details creates a natural focal point for your eye to gravitate towards. This Moroccan rug exudes a type of mysteriously alluring beauty because it may seem simple, but every shape, progression, and line in this piece is different. When one really ponders the vintage rug, they may be able to spot subtle notes of modern impressionism.
