THIS RUG'S STORY:
This stunning vintage runner has a rare attribute - it's neutral! It's no secret that neutral runners longer than 6 or 7 feet are hard to come by. Many times because the tribes who typically weave neutral rugs (like the Beni Ourain tribe) don't typically make rugs this size. So then when I saw this one, it had to be mine. I love the mix of cream, brown, and black! So timeless! hand selected this rug during my travels to Morocco in the fall of 2019.
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.
