Vintage Beni Mrirt Moroccan Rug, Midcentury Modern Meets Spicy Boho Chic

About the Item

20947 Vintage Beni Mrirt Moroccan Rug, 06'00 x 10'08. Embark on an enchanting journey through the woven wonders of this meticulously crafted hand-knotted wool vintage Moroccan rug—an exquisite masterpiece celebrating the timeless artistry of Beni Mrirt. The allure of bold, earthy colors and the mystical charm inherent in Beni Mrirt rugs immediately captivate the eye, painting a distinctive aesthetic that echoes the rich traditions of the Berber people. As you traverse the nomadic landscapes of Morocco in your mind, envision the bustling Souks of Marrakech, where the aromatic spices infuse the air with enchantment. Against an abrashed red backdrop, an enchanting lozenge lattice takes center stage, its open end running along the heart of the composition. Richly striated fields adorned with additional diamonds unfold a tale of profound symbolism—X-shapes whispering of the open arms and legs of a woman ready to embrace conception, V-shapes gracefully representing open thighs, and concentric diamonds weaving a narrative of womanhood. Framing the vertical sides, a solid border lends order and definition, contributing to the rug's overall simplicity and modest design aesthetic. With functionality and warmth at its core, this vintage Moroccan rug not only enchants the senses but also serves as a time-honored testament to the artisanal mastery of Beni Mrirt. Let its mystical patterns and earthy hues transport you to a realm where tradition and enchantment seamlessly intertwine. Rendered in variegated shades of red, burgundy, brown, orange, aubergine, black coffee and wine with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Morocco. Berber Tribes of Morocco.
