A Rare Masterpiece: The Beni Ourain Runner

If you are looking for a foundational piece that is truly amazing, the Riptide rug features a color and design that is wonderfully fabulous and rare. Handwoven Circa 1960s from a premium blend of Wool and Cotton, this authentic vintage Beni Ourain Moroccan piece is a brilliant celebration of structured, highly expressive tribal artistry. Set against a beautifully plush cream canvas, the weaver framed the rug with a dark, grounding border. The true magic lies in the center, where three massive, connected diamond motifs command attention. These focal points feature fascinating, "toothed" jagged edges that mimic the pull of the ocean, woven in a gorgeous, highly rare deep ox blood red yarn. It is a highly expressive, deeply uplifting work of mid-century floor art.

Plush Comfort & Extended Proportions

Measuring a highly adaptable 3'5" x 9'7", this spectacular runner boasts a highly practical Approximate 3/4-inch thickness. This beautifully preserved, intensely textural profile offers the insulating warmth and cloud-like softness of natural vintage materials while remaining highly manageable in everyday living spaces. Its near 3x10 footprint makes it the perfect high-character foundational piece to anchor a long hallway, bring unbelievable artistic energy to an extended kitchen, or provide a deeply comforting, high-contrast pathway through your home.

Care for Vintage Treasures

Vintage Moroccan rugs are durable yet precious. We recommend rotating periodically for even wear. Vacuum with the beater bar off on a low setting, using a high-pile setting to protect the deeply plush 3/4-inch pile and fringed ends. Blot spills immediately with a clean, absorbent white cloth. Professionally clean for best results to maintain the wonderfully soft texture and the crisp contrast of its deep red patterns.
