Rocco
THIS RUG'S STORY:
Rocco is a fantastic find from the Beni Ourain tribe in Morocco. Beni Ourain rugs are known for their neutral colors and more minimal geometric designs. This one has a symmetrical zig zag motif that runs vertically throughout the rug. It is in great condition, and with its wide size, would make a lovely piece for a living room or bedroom!
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.
