Tracking down Beni Ouarain carpets




















Beni Ouarain carpets are the lovely, lush, creamy brown and white Berber carpets so sought after for contemporary settings. This is a vintage one.
Each year the real thing - woven individually at home rather than in a workshop - are getting harder to find. You can see ones like this on maroc triibal. We found this on in a small town in the central Middle Atlas - and snapped it up. We found four more during the same trip, and have just picked up another.
