No.14 Beni Ourain vintage

This Moroccan rug, handwoven with care by the artisans of the Beni Ourain tribe, stands as a testament to the nomadic elegance and detailed craftsmanship of its creators. Adorned with a distinctive lozenge burgundy trellis pattern against a backdrop of soft, creamy beige. This piece reflects the timeless style of the ancient Berber tribes, whose influence reached the creative minds of mid-20th-century artists and designers. In the absence of a written script, the Berbers, including the Beni Ourain weavers, infused their textiles with symbols and motifs that narrate their lives, making each rug a vibrant chronicle of their existence. This Beni Ourain rug is a piece of nomadic art and Mid-Century Modern design that will enrich any setting.

Originating from the rugged landscapes of Morocco's Middle Atlas Mountains, the Beni Ourain tribe is celebrated for its exceptional wool weaving, producing pieces that are both practical and profoundly expressive of their heritage. The rugs they create are storied tapestries of nomadic life, woven with symbols and patterns that have been handed down through generations, capturing the essence of their connection to the earth and their rich ancestral lore.
