Argan
THIS RUG'S STORY:
This soft and silky treasure is one of our new favorite rugs in the shop! Argan is a Beni Ourain kilim, with looped pile and a minimal design. She is sized at nearly 6x7', so her size is nearly square. She is in excellent condition!
ABOUT MOROCCAN RUGS:
Each vintage Moroccan rug is hand woven and knotted by Berber women of the tribal region specified. This level of craftsmanship can take up to weeks or months to complete a single rug. Weaving techniques have been passed down through the generations. The patterns, designs, and colors in each rug vary with each rug, weaver, and tribe – so each piece is truly a unique work of art and 2 pieces will never be the same. Often these rugs have been handed down through the families who created them, and have been uncovered from the mountain and rural areas of Morocco.
