Magnificent Vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain Runner Rug, Country of Origin: Morocco, Circa Date: Mid-Twentieth Century – Generally speaking, vintage Moroccan rugs and carpets are admired for their decidedly modern aesthetic, which is often characterized by a simple color pallet of ivory and dark brown, as well as simple, straightforward designs. This particular long and narrow runner rug is wonderfully representative of that vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain rug aesthetic tradition, boasting a simple and elegant ivory field, adorned with small, abstract brown details. These details appear as a series of irregular, short lines, woven in the vertical and enhancing the format of the long and narrow carpet. The overall effect of this intriguing approach is one of abstraction and simplicity – particularly the qualities that are most sought after in a mid-century vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain runner rug .
