VINTAGE BERBER RUGS from MOROCCO  >> 'berber'

Please view a constantly updated selection of vintage Moroccan tribal carpets of highest quality with a special focus on white or cream ground Beni Ouarain rugs in the 'berber' section. The items in the 'past highlights' section are meant to be a catalogue site of very special items that I am still proud of having handled them in the past.... but which are already sold. You may however refer in a request also to particular pieces that you found there. My current stock comprises ca. 300 carpets so it is quite likely to find a piece of a similar character. I would do my best to find you a piece as requested.
