Berber Beni Ourain rug in ecru with diamonds and colored dots 152 x 110 cm

Ideal in a living room or bedroom to soften the atmosphere and create an ambiance that is both bohemian and very cozy. The beni ouarain rug is undoubtedly the best known of berber rugs. It is characterized by its thick wool in ecru tones and its geometric diamond-shaped patterns, often black or brown. However, we now find some with brightly colored patterns. Originally, the beni ouarain rug is also characterized by its very large size. Indeed, the beni ouarain tribe comes from the middle atlas, so it is subject to a harsh climate. The rugs were therefore used as mattresses and blankets, people wrapped themselves in them to sleep and protect themselves from the cold. The beni ouarain berber rug is handcrafted, by hand on a loom. The woolen threads are knotted one after the other, which requires a very long production time, which can range from several days to several months depending on its size.
