Beautiful Folk Art Vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan Runner Rug, Country Of Origin / Rug Type: Moroccan Rug, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century – This vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan rug exhibits stark tribal patterning along its entire length, creating a bold piece in ivory and deep brown tones. Short horizontal lines cross the width in parallel measure, decorated with a variety of stylized designs. Quadrilaterals and crossed figures defined by slim lines alternate with wide vertical bars that form zebra-like patterning. A trio of crisscrossing pairs decorates the final space on the creamy outer edge, separated from the primary pattern of this artistic vintage rug to form a rough border. The runner’s lush texture adds an illusion of fur, echoing the patterns of large game animals and predators along the long span.
