Vintage Moroccan Beni Ouarain Carpet BO_103
A superb example of a vintage Beni Ouarain, with a female lozenge network divided in horizontal bands across the composition. Broken lines join the segments, adding visual interest and rhythm to the pattern. Dotted fertility symbols are mostly contained within the network, while others appear to have broken free. Double knotted in black and ivory 100% wool. Has been reduced in size on one end, which does not detract from the overall condition of the piece.
