The Handwoven Tribal Rug - The Beni Ourain Rug
Posted by London Cows Team on 7th Sep 2016
Imagine the wonderful feeling you will receive when you proudly display
in your home or office a gorgeous, authentic, and luxurious Beni Ourain
rug which has been lovingly and expertly hand woven and knotted by
members of the Berber tribes in the acclaimed and famous Atlas Mountains
of Morocco.
The outstanding and traditional top-quality workmanship and the use of
the finest materials and strong geometric structure that go into
creating such a rug have been passed down from generation to generation
for centuries. The current weavers are just as enthusiastic about their
results as their ancestors were.
The number of customized designs, patterns, sizes, accents, and colours
are endless as they are incorporated into what is truly a timeless work
of art that is also a one-of-a-kind presentation. Woven with wool from
the local mountain sheep, the rugs are famous for their natural white
and ivory tones and unusual designs. Some rugs are intertwined with
naturally-dyed darker bright colorful wool, which makes them a great
candidate to tie in with most color schemes in your décor.
These rugs are all the rage, are extremely popular, and appear in
various publications showing their use in all types of interiors from
the very traditional to the very modern.
It is believed by the tribes that the rugs protect the human spirit from
negative energy. In the Berber culture, red symbolizes strength and
protection, yellow represents eternity, blue symbolizes wisdom, and
green stands for peace. The Berber women also incorporate design
elements from their personal experience and life into the tribal art
designs with symbols that refer to events and even their daily life such
as beliefs, fertility, birth, femininity, spirituality, and more.
The fantastic rugs are selected by very particular and trained
purchasers actually traveling to Morocco, where the hand-crafted
masterpieces are individually chosen for their exciting and dynamic
beauty, style, and unique craftsmanship created in the original tribal
area that has hundreds of years of history and the ultimate experience
by its weavers.
Only excellent quality passes the test.
Additionally, this way of selection allows for a certificate of 100
percent authenticity to be issued along with each purchase so there is
no question as to the background of the rug.
