Beni Ourain Moroccan Rugs: A Tradition
Vintage Beni Ourain carpets aren’t like other vintage carpets. Hand made my Moroccan artisans; each rug tells a story. While their geometric patterns are vivid and beautiful, they’re also symbolic of heritage. More than just abstract designs, these details have purpose.
Beni Moroccan rugs are hand woven and knotted by the Berber women of the High Atlas Mountains. Their styles and techniques are their own and have been passed down from generation to generation. In this way, each stitch and weave shares in the history of the woman who made it.
And because of this carefully crafted technique, each rug can take up to eight months to craft. One on hand, this is a long process at the hands of masters. On the other hand, what takes eight months to craft will last a lifetime. While it’s a Beni Ourain vintage rug by name, it represents a timeless piece of one-of-a-kind art.
The Ground or The Wall?
Unlike Kilim rugs, Beni Ourain rugs have medium to high pile. They’re woven with thick wool to give them depth and life. This can be seen in their designs, as well as their colors.
It can also be felt by bare feet should you want your Beni Ourain vintage rug on the floor of your living room. Or any room for that matter! Vintage doesn’t have to mean old and fragile. A Beni Ourain Moroccan rug is tightly woven and knotted, and it will last beneath your feet.
The texture is comforting, and you’ll likely never wear your shoes in your home again. Not because the Beni rugs can’t handle it, but because their texture feels so good.
However, they’re beautiful pieces of art to look at and appreciate in that regard as well. Therefore, you might want to hang your vintage Beni Ourain rug on the wall. A display of art just like you would a prized photo, a masterwork painting, or hand-crafted sculpture.
The bottom line is that a true Beni Ourain rug is a versatile piece of art. The tradition of weaving them has remained because the quality of the rugs has stood the test of time.
