Many of the most famous mid century designers developed a love for these magnificent vintage rugs, which help to offset the harsh angular lines of contemporary designs. Today, they are adored for many of the same reasons. That said, they represent even more during the time of their actual creation. These magnificent rugs from Morocco represent a piece of mid 20th century history and the culture and traditions of the Moroccan Berber tribes people who created them. This specific shaggy Beni Ourain rug is an excellent example of mid century North African artwork.
