With its somewhat lighter weave, this rug would have served both as a floor covering and as bedding. Woven from natural wool in varying shades, this soft and plush Beni Ourain was made to bring warmth to the weaver’s family in the snowy peaks of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains. Celebrated for their neutral tones and minimalist, lyrical lines, Beni Ourain rugs possess an effortless ability to complement modern interiors. Henri Matisse famously described them as ‘huge whites,’ and they were later championed by Le Corbusier, who brought their quiet sophistication to prominence in mid-20th-century design. In a rare larger size for a vintage rug, this rug is perfectly suited to North American rooms. A neutral rug with remarkable character and presence.
