Fine black lines trace irregular diamonds across the ivory wool pile of this 175 × 130 cm Beni Ourain rug. The generous pile softens their outlines, allowing sections of the pattern to disappear and re-emerge across the surface.

Provenance & Craft

Presented by Atelier des Atlas, this small wool pile rug belongs to the Beni Ourain weaving tradition of Morocco’s Middle Atlas. Cream fringe finishes both short ends, with longer knotted tassels visible at the near edge.

Design Vocabulary

Uneven diamond outlines and open zigzags run along the length of the rug. Their shifting proportions create an asymmetric rhythm, while the restrained black and ivory palette brings attention to the wool’s texture.
