Higher Still (2'10" x 7'4") – Vintage Geometric Beni Ourain Runner Rug
Architectural Elegance: The Geometric Beni Ourain
The Higher Still runner takes classic mid-century design to a whole new level. Handwoven Circa 1970s from 100% Handwoven Wool, this authentic vintage Beni Ourain piece offers an incredibly thick pile and fabulously soft texture. Set against a deeply plush, un-dyed cream canvas, the weaver crafted a highly structured, connected lattice of massive, stepped dark brown diamonds. Adding to its immense character, the interior of each diamond features a nested tribal cross, while delicate hourglass motifs float beautifully in the negative space. It is a brilliant, highly architectural piece of woven floor art.
Plush Comfort & Versatile Scale
Measuring an adaptable 2'10" x 7'4", this spectacular runner boasts a highly practical Approximate 3/4-inch thickness. This beautifully balanced profile makes it incredibly versatile—offering the insulating warmth and signature cloud-like softness of natural vintage wool while remaining highly manageable in everyday living spaces. Its near 3x7 footprint makes it the perfect high-character foundational piece to style down a long hallway, bring unbelievable texture to a galley kitchen, or serve as a warm landing beside your bed.
Why We Curate It
- Stepped Diamond Lattice: The structured, pixelated edges of the geometric shapes add an incredible layer of architectural depth and modern sophistication.
- Authentic Tribal Motifs: The nested inner crosses and floating hourglass symbols showcase advanced 1970s weaving precision and authentic Moroccan storytelling.
- Fabulously Soft Texture: The beautifully preserved, 3/4-inch thick wool pile provides an incredibly organic, comforting feel underfoot.
- Versatile 3x7 Scale: Its long, narrow dimensions effortlessly adapt to tight or transitional architectural spaces that need a touch of warmth.
