AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage Beni Ouarain rug hand-knotted by the weavers of the Middle Atlas in Morocco.
A charming piece that revisits Berber tradition with a softer, more nuanced palette.
On an ivory, woolly and plush background emerges a lattice of diamonds, drawn not in a uniform black but in a speckled line blending brown, gray and charcoal, enhanced with brick-red touches that warm the overall effect.
The top of the rug is underscored by a Berber Greek-key frieze, a pretty detail that frames the composition.
This heathered, almost tweed-like effect gives the piece a particular depth and softness, halfway between the crisp graphics of classic Beni Ouarain and the warmth of more colorful rugs.
An authentic and elegant rug that fits just as well in minimalist Scandinavian interiors as in bohemian or contemporary decor.
Fringed finishes at the ends.
