THIS RUG'S STORY:
This unique Beni Ourain hanbel (kilim) rug is a stunning piece! It has looped pile, with an array of color accents. The back is striped and is also beautiful - really, you could use the rug with either side face up! The playful dots could make this one a great rug for a kids room or playroom.
ABOUT MOROCCAN RUGS:
Each vintage Moroccan rug is hand woven and knotted by Berber women of the tribal region specified. This level of craftsmanship can take up to weeks or months to complete a single rug. Weaving techniques have been passed down through the generations. The patterns, designs, and colors in each rug vary with each rug, weaver, and tribe – so each piece is truly a unique work of art and 2 pieces will never be the same. Often these rugs have been handed down through the families who created them, and have been uncovered from the mountain and rural areas of Morocco.
