Vintage Hand-Knotted Rug BB6210 5'10" × 10'0" $4,000

A mid 20th century vintage Moroccan rug, Circa: 1950, Origin: Morocco. This remarkable piece is an example of Beni Ourain rug, weaved by the peoples living in the Rif Mountains near Taza. Moroccan thick pile antique oriental rugs gained a lot of recognition in the mid-20th century, thanks to modern designers such as Le Corbusier, who paired them with fashionable furniture.

The white Moroccan rug is characteristic for its dichromatism and tribal design. A neutral off-white background is contrasted by an uneven, yet geometric, pattern in hues of orange, brown and gray. Rhomboidal shapes are frequently repeated in Berber tradition as they generally symbolize protection. The vintage carpet, despite its historical design would be a perfect choice for any modern interior.
