AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exceptional vintage Beni Ouarain rug — woven by the weavers of the Middle Atlas — 305 x 185 cm
Vintage Beni Ouarain rug hand-knotted by the weavers of the Moroccan Middle Atlas, in the great tradition of black-and-white Berber carpets, timeless and sought-after.
On an ivory woolly and plush background unfolds a vast network of black diamonds, filled with a fine cross-hatched grid that gives them depth and relief. The composition comes alive with dispersed Berber motifs, six-pointed stars and small traditional symbols, adding a touch of soul and narrative to this pared-down graphic. The stark contrast of black on ivory, signature of the Beni Ouarain, gives the piece an elegant graphic quality that harmonizes particularly well with minimalist, Scandinavian and contemporary interiors, while preserving its Berber authenticity.
Fringed finishes at the ends.
Characteristics:
Origin: Middle Atlas, Morocco
Weaving: weavers of the Middle Atlas
Material: 100% natural wool
Technique: hand-knotted
Dimensions: 305 x 185 cm
Unique piece, vintage, handmade
Patina, slight shade variations and small irregularities, testifying to the artisanal character, vintage aspect, and authenticity of the piece.
If you have an estimated era, I can add it to support the vintage aspect. Would you also like an English or Dutch translation for Catawiki?Opus 4.8 High
