ABOUT BENI OUARAIN RUGS

A beautiful medium pile rug made by the Beni Ouarain tribes in the 1990s. It is made using soft natural undyed wool with the addition of subtle shades of olive green and gold in the lozenge design. This rug would provide warmth and be an attractive feature in any room of a home.

Loving this unusual Beni rug, especially due to the fact that it is not the classic design but has subtle colour as well as the lozenge shapes and the soft wool for which the Beni Ouarain tribe are renowned. Gorgeous!

Ref: BEN-ZRB-666.

Boasting a beautiful ivory background colour and adorned with geometrical diamond patterns in black or brown, the classic 'Beni' is made from undyed soft natural wool with a medium to thick pile. It is warm, sumptuous and durable and each one is the result of up to a year's work by a Berber woman from the mountainous north-eastern region of Morocco. Beni Ouarains have largely maintained their original patterns and colour, standing out from other carpet types by virtue of this. They are considered to be the most prestigious carpets produced in Morocco and have become very popular in Europe in recent years due to their simplicity and adaptability to interiors of modern or traditional design.
