Handmade Moroccan Wool Rug with Geometric Tribal Design N11530 6'0" × 9'0" $6,000

This modern area rug, although presently made, comprises all the greatest features of the Oriental weaving craft. It was made in the likeness of the extremely characteristic group of Moroccan carpets called Beni Ourain. Those tribal wonders fascinated the mid-20th century Modernists, who believed in the power of simplicity and naturalness which stood in the opposition to the previous aesthetic of pomp and overabundance.

This Beni Ourain-inspired Moroccan outdoor rug extremely faithfully reproduces all characteristics of the originals. Its pile allures with shagginess and softness as it is masterly hand-executed of the finest wool according to traditional weaving techniques. The nonchalant design is built upon the motif of diamonds, which in the universal language of antique carpets symbolize the protection against the Evil Eye. As typical among Beni Ourains, the color palette of this particular piece comprises of solely two hues – off-white and brown. So little is needed to express so much. Such custom rug will indisputably bring warmth and effortless chic to any interior, from classically to modernly arranged.
