Handmade Moroccan Wool Rug with Tribal Design in Blue and White N10868 8'7" × 13'0" $13,500

This exceptional modern rug, although presently made, carries a design that has been developed centuries ago by the nomadic tribes wandering the deserts of Morocco. It is modeled on the famed Beni Ourains – shaggy tribal rugs which were “discovered” by the mid-20^th century modernists and have been an indispensable feature of the most fashionable interiors around the world ever since.

The main field of the modern Moroccan rug boasts the iconic design of slightly lax diamonds that are believed to protect against the Evil Eye. Traditionally, Beni Ourains have black motifs and off-white field. Here we have a modern twist – the irregular grid is rendered in delicate light blue against the beige background. This serene composition is finished with a fringe that adds to the overall, whimsical charm of the rug. Minimalistic and timelessly elegant, this piece will easily match any kind of décor, bringing in joy a bit of a geometric stir.

Moreover, the modern rug was made in accordance with well-established, traditional techniques to ensure its quality. Carefully hand-knotted of the finest, softest wool, it is distinguished by durability and pleasant pile. Provided minimum amount of care, it will serve its owners for generations without any signs of wear.
