Vintage Beni Ourain Rug | Loopy Lou

Vintage Beni Ourain Rug Skilfully handwoven in the Atlas mountain region of Morocco, our vintage Beni Ourain rugs have all been selected for their superior quality and iconic designs. Woven using only the highest quality wool, and traditionally double knotted giving a luxuriously soft and heavy pile. The sheep of this tribal region are an ancient breed that yield stunning soft and shaggy wool, which is then hand spun, and used un-dyed in it's most natural form. A true design classic, and a favourite of artists and designers alike. Originally used as inspiration when first discovered by European mid-century visionaries including Matisse, Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier and Paul Klee to name a few. A piece of art and future heirloom for years to come.
