Over the centuries, the softness of untreated wool has made it the best solution for sleeping and covering yourself from the harsh cold of the desert. The same Berber knotting, which has made Beni Ourain rugs famous for their resistance and softness, was created precisely to make the rug warmer and usable on both the front and back.
This is a modern revision dating circa 1980 of the Kilim Ourika from the Atlas Mountains of the Berber tribes in Morocco; a faithful recovery from remote times with the same ancestral techniques of these Tribes from washing to cording to spinning; what distinguishes this beautiful kilim is the refinement in the design; the dance in the wefts is an ancient expression in the weft where the weaver reveals her mastery in the execution of the carpet; in the world of oriental weaving this technique is called Abrasce which means weft villages.
