A refined Beni Ourain in undyed ivory wool featuring subtle horizontal ladder bands across the field and a
sculptural knotwork border in slate/indigo tones. Plush, velvety pile; braided selvedge details; and long, hand-twisted
fringe deliver a quietly dramatic, authentically Atlas finish at room scale.
Glyph Reading
The horizontal ladder registers encode measured time and steady progress. The knotted border operates as a
threshold/guardian, holding the field and inviting safe passage. Energetically, the composition centers a large
living zone, grounding it with calm rhythm and soft luminosity.
