Vintage Mid Century Beni Ourain Moroccan Rug, Origin: Morocco, Circa: Mid 20th Century – The playful, geometric design of this gorgeous Moroccan rug looks as if it were created for modern interiors, but it is a mid-20th century classic. The tribal designs of the Beni Ourain people are based on traditions that go back many centuries. These fascinating people have etched out an existence in the harsh terrain of the Atlas Mountains. Many of them continue to live a life that still reflects that of their ancestors.

The design of these rugs is symbolic and tells of the traditions and stories of the people. Yet, they still have a modern fascination and appeal that allows them to add an organic, natural element to contemporary interiors. During the mid-20th century, Moroccan rugs became popular as a way of bringing in an element that is natural and primitive to the modern world.
