Doris Leslie Blau Collection Modern Moroccan Beige, Brown Handmade Wool Rug N11981 6'0" × 13'4" $4,000

$4,000

Although presently made, this new rug embodies the greatest features of the centuries-old Moroccan weaving craft. It is modeled on Beni Ourains – iconic shaggy beauties originally woven by nomadic tribes wandering the area of the Rif mountains near Taza, distinguished by very characteristic design. The most typical Beni Ourain rug has an ivory or whitish background and black or brown lines that create a diamond-shaped grid pattern; a diamond in the Oriental rug language is a protective motif guarding against the Evil Eye.

The new carpet before your eyes fits into the most classic canon of Beni Ourains, except for its dimensions that are more similar to the ones of a runner. Its off-white field bears a traditional diamond pattern. It is worth mentioning that the minute ‘imperfections’ of the design are intentional – they are connected to tribal beliefs that nothing in the earthly life can be perfect and aim at expressing humility towards the force majeure. The new rug is finished with tassels at the longer edges which further emphasizes its homely character.

The contemporary rug was made in complete accordance with traditional craft. Its cushy pile was carefully hand-knotted of top-notch wool by a skilled artisan. Due to such execution, the rug is durable, resilient and unique. Under the condition of proper maintenance, it will serve its owners for generations without any signs of wear, bringing in its warmth and a pinch of Oriental magic.

Moroccan rugs, in their variety of textures, colors, and designs have stood the test of time. They are a classic staple in both classic and modern interiors. Our modern Moroccan rugs are handmade by artisans in small, specialized workshops, following the centuries-old tradition. They are handmade of natural undyed wool or of wool colored with natural dyes. Their designs are either of vintage tribal inspiration or traditional with an original twist, designs exclusive to Doris Leslie Blau.
