THIS RUG'S STORY:
This rug originated from the Middle Atlas region in Morocco, and was handcrafted by the Beni Ourain tribe. One of the things I love most about this rug is that it's a timeless design but also with some purple and orange as well. For anyone that loves just a hint of color with the neutral base, this is your rug!
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.
