The secret of an authentic Beni Ouarain carpet lies in its luxuriously thick, woollen texture and the transparency of its design so even when you have a bold design such as this, the pattern is subtle on close inspection, mixing with the white background, inviting you to get down and stoke its soft silky surface. In doing so, you can appreciate the golden tinge of the white wool and you will notice that the traditional fishbone pattern border has almost disappeared.
