Lent solidity by its latticework lines and charm by its charming ivory hue, this vintage Moroccan rug is an exciting example.

Vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain Rug, Origin: Morocco, Circa: Mid-20th Century – Here is a beautiful mid-century vintage carpet – a vintage Beni Ourain Rug from Morocco, woven in the height of that style. Endearingly popular, mid-century Beni Ourain carpets such as this striking example are beautifully suited to modern interiors, and are prized for their great versatility. This particular example is characterized by a beautiful ivory field which is intriguingly crisscrossed by a series of diagonal lines, which come together to form a lattice pattern. In an intriguing abstract detail, some of the negative space is punctuated by small circles, adding eccentricity and misdirection to the otherwise straightforward presentation. Lent solidity by its latticework lines and charm by its charming ivory hue, this vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan rug is an exciting example. It is in excellent condition and soft to the touch.  It is hand knotted and made of 100% natural wool.
