Beni Ourain Berber Vintage Moroccan Runner Rug, Morocco, Mid-Twentieth Century – Here is a fascinating and compelling vintage rug – a runner length piece woven by the Beni Ourain tribes people of Morocco. Boasting a highly traditional Beni Ourain format and composition, this long and narrow rug is an brilliant example of a school of rug-design which has enjoyed tremendous popularity for many years, including a great popularity that persists to the current day. Vintage Moroccan rugs such as this are particularly celebrated for their stripped down, traditional tribal designs – characteristics that this particular rug has on full display. The tribal design that characterizes this particularly comely runner rug is an excellent example from a school of aesthetic preferences that complements interior spaces of many styles, especially mid-century modern focused interiors, which put an emphasis on the aesthetic ideals of minimalism and abstraction. The simple color pallet of this rug, which consists of the pale ivory tone of the rug itself and the dark brown that characterizes the detail work, is representative of the Beni Ourain, and is widely celebrated for its inherent versatility. The simplicity of the design, which consists of fascinating detailed latticework, is deeply powerful. It  vaguely suggests strength, without too blatantly giving away anything. This opens up the rug for closer examination, making it an inviting work. A charming composition, this Beni Ourain Berber runner rug is a distinct and intriguing creation.
