Up for Auction is an authentic premium quaility Beni Ourain area rug, neat condition, and very slightly used, hand-picked from the weaving family in the High Atlas mountains, the carpet design has a network of diamonds made up of relatively fine black lines on a white ground. About 25Kg or 55lb of pure sheep wool was used to weave this beautiful rug in around 6 months. Carpet has a couple of light-orange like weaves, these are simply color variation from sheep wool. The Beni Ouarain pile-weaving tradition may date back as far as the tribe's arrival in their present settlement region around the turn of the last millennium. This suggestion is based on the need for these tribes to produce textiles for protection against winter cold in the highland areas.

The top artistic quality of Berber carpets has already been a source of inspiration to artists such as Paul Klee and Le Corbusier. Bruno Barbatti reveals a new slant on the origins of Berber carpets and on the sources and meanings of its motifs. Genuine Berber carpets are not the successors of well known Oriental carpets dating from the Islamic era but similarities in knotting techniques and certain motifs point to common roots harking back to the Neolithic period in Asia Minor. Because textiles wear out over time and a sequence of carpets across millennia no longer exists to prove the point, for the very first time, Bruno presents the results of some in-depth, comparative research initiatives. He links the motifs of Berber carpets to rock art symbols and artefacts created by the first human civilizations, demonstrating that Berber carpets employ the same rules when using symbols and shapes and that there is a stunning similarity of correlation even with the characteristics evident during the Upper Palaeolithic period in Europe or the Neolithic Orient with the Mediterranean basin. The Berber carpet can therefore be considered as a definitive, genuine testimony of this archaic world. Barbatti's work speaks volumes to anyone who is captivated by the origins of art and for whom the deciphering of symbolic language leads to a deeper knowledge and understanding of true meaning.

The Berber carpet is never made mimicking a model, as is the case with Persian carpets where many workers are sitting side by side facing the loom. Berber carpets are the fruits of woman imagination and fantasy. Berber carpets are woven (Kilim) or tied by one or two women, mother and daughter or close, sitting on the floor facing the vertical loom. The Berber woman will see the result only once the carpet is completed. The making of the carpet is based on memory and imagination of the Berber woman who will retain the forms for interior design. The Berber lady is free to give room to her emotions and fantasy. Thus every Berber carpet is unique, characterized by great artistry, diversity and spontaneity.
