Moroccan Midcentury Cream and Black Handwoven Wool Runner BB5482 4'0" × 16'0" $10,000

The Moroccan runner before your eyes carries features characteristic of Beni Ourains rugs. In the mid-twentieth century, Beni Ourain rugs have stolen the hearts of modernist designers and tastemakers alike. These treasures of the desert seduced the western world with their upmost simplicity and directness, so different to the overabundant art of ages past.

The main field bears a pattern of diamonds rendered in warm brown shade against a cream beige background. The diamond motif symbolizes protection against the Evil Eye, thus Moroccan rugs carrying such a design are believed to be a lucky charm to a house holding them. The runner was carefully hand-woven of wool in accordance with centuries-old techniques which ensures its longevity and durability. The runner will be just excellent for capacious interiors, large hallways or long staircases. It has a chance to brighten up any interior, classic or modern, with its Oriental charm.
