Vintage Berber Moroccan in Cobalt Blue by Beni Ourain, 06'03" x 13'03" From Esmaili Rugs Collection. Featuring a saturated palette of cobalt blue, this plush piled Beni Ourain carpet will transform a plain room into a lively space. Giving a youthful and whimsical feel with its tribal motifs, Moroccan rugs can add much-needed color, warmth and texture to nearly any interior. Moroccan carpet weavers, mostly women, incorporate design elements from their personal experience into the rugs designs. The symbols are usually references to events and aspects of their daily life such as beliefs, birth, fertility, nature, femininity, life and spirituality. Some believed that the rugs could even ward off evil spirits so naturally, they incorporated designs such as diamonds and lucky charms to ward off the evil spirits and bring luck, prosperity and protection. The hints of dyes that make their way into the rug's motifs and fringes have their own tale to tell. In Berber culture, blue symbolizes wisdom, yellow represents eternity and green stands for peace. Measures: 06'03" x 13'03".
