About the Item
Open field Berber carpets make up a distinct group of weavings, originating from various regions of the Moroccan Middle Atlas and characterized by a plethora of tones of red. The present example is distinguished by a warm purple in a full range of tonal gradations, flanked on each side by a dark narrow border. The chunky weave is typical of the rugs from the Beni Mrirt Berbers, inhabiting the northeastern section of the Middle Atlas.

Rothko Style Atlas: A Rare Vintage Beni Mrirt Moroccan Rug in Poetic Colorfields
By Berber Tribes of Morocco, Beni Mrirt
Located in Dallas, TX
21445 Rare Vintage Beni Mrirt Moroccan Rug, 06'00 x 08'06. Bathed in saturated fields of aubergine, wine, and bruised plum, this vintage Beni Mrirt Moroccan rug evokes the visceral quietude of a Mark Rothko painting — but rendered through the ancestral hands of Berber women in the High Atlas Mountains.
