Vintage Moroccan Beni Ouarain Carpet BO_150
A wonderful example, this minimal vintage Beni Ouarain displays the simplest of motifs. Almost devoid of traditional symbolism, the dual horizontal bands of open lozenges read as if seen on a distant horizon. The solid male protective side borders frame the composition, while a decorative flat weave finishes the piece. The motifs are woven in dark warm brown and grey on a lustrous warm ivory wool ground. 100% wool with a time aged patina.
