Authentic Vintage Moroccan Rug – A Legacy of Beni M’Guild Craftsmanship
This Authentic Vintage Moroccan Rug is a true expression of Morocco’s weaving legacy, hand-knotted by Beni M’Guild artisans in the Middle Atlas Mountains. Measuring 12.5 × 6.8 ft (381 × 207 cm), it embodies warmth, symbolism, and enduring craftsmanship.
Its bold diamond medallions and layered chevron motifs symbolize protection and harmony—powerful icons in Amazigh (Berber) culture. Each tone, from deep brick red to blush pink, has been achieved through natural, plant-based dyes that age gracefully with time.
Hand-Knotted Moroccan Heritage
Every vintage Moroccan rug is a product of patience, ritual, and artistry. Women weavers in the Atlas region use techniques passed down through generations, transforming hand-spun wool into living tapestries of cultural meaning.
Working on simple looms, they weave from memory, guided by ancestral motifs that tell stories of protection, fertility, and unity. The diamond patterns and zigzag borders represent both order and life’s organic rhythm—woven into wool with soulful precision.
A Palette Inspired by Earth and Time
The color story of this Authentic Vintage Moroccan Rug mirrors Morocco’s natural landscape. Rich brick reds and burnt oranges evoke the clay valleys of the Middle Atlas, while blush pinks and faded creams bring softness and balance.
Black and ivory accents add contrast and depth, creating a sense of timeless equilibrium. The rug’s slightly faded areas reflect its vintage authenticity—proof of its journey through time rather than imperfection.
Texture, Warmth, and Authentic Character
Made from 100% natural wool, this rug offers a soft, plush texture underfoot while retaining its structural integrity. The pile is medium in height—dense enough for warmth yet flexible enough for layering.
Handwoven irregularities, fringe ends, and slight asymmetries serve as subtle marks of authenticity. These natural details remind us that the piece was made by human hands, not machines.
Symbolism in Every Motif
The Beni M’Guild patterns carry centuries of symbolic meaning. Diamonds represent feminine energy and protection from misfortune, while chevrons express movement and resilience. Together, they form a spiritual language—one that speaks of harmony, balance, and connection to nature.
Each rug acts as a visual diary of its weaver’s life and surroundings. It’s not just textile—it’s storytelling woven into form.
Designed for Modern Interiors
The Authentic Vintage Moroccan Rug blends effortlessly into modern, bohemian, and earthy spaces. Its saturated tones pair beautifully with neutral furnishings, organic woods, and terracotta finishes.
Use it as a statement piece beneath a dining table, in a spacious living area, or even layered over minimalist flooring. It instantly transforms interiors, grounding them with texture, warmth, and cultural depth.
Endorsed by Global Designers
Moroccan rugs have been celebrated by designers worldwide for their artistry and versatility. According to Architectural Digest, Moroccan textiles remain “a timeless foundation for both modern and traditional interiors.”
Their imperfect symmetry, bold color palettes, and rich symbolism make them design staples—pieces that transcend trends to tell human stories through craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean my Moroccan rug?
Caring for your Moroccan rug is simple! For regular maintenance, we recommend gently vacuuming it 1-2 times a week (use a suction-only attachment, without a beater bar) and air it outside every few months. For minor spills, act quickly by blotting the area with a clean, dry cloth. If needed, use a small amount of water and a gentle soap. For deep cleaning, we strongly recommend seeking a professional rug cleaner who specializes in wool carpets to preserve the rug's natural fibers and vibrant colors for years to come.
◈ Vacuum Regularly → Use a low setting without a beater bar to protect the fibers.
◈ Blot Spills Immediately → Use a dry cloth for stains, gently dab with mild detergent and cold water.
◈ Protect from Moisture → Avoid excessive humidity and use a rug pad to extend its lifespan.
◈ Prevent Fading → Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
◈ Rotate Every Few Months → Ensures even wear and longevity.
◈ Fluff Maintain → If fibers flatten, gently brush with a soft-bristle brush.
◈ Deep Clean → Opt for professional hand-washing every 5 years or as needed.
◈ Sunbathe Monthly → If practical, let your rug in the sun occasionally. Sunlight's UV rays work as natural deodorizing and microbe protection.
◈ Avoid Harsh Chemicals → They can damage the natural wool fibers.

Will I have to pay customs fees or import duties?

How do you package the rugs to make sure they arrive safely?
We guarantee that your rug will arrive safely and in excellent condition, having been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and, if necessary, restored prior to dispatch. We then fold it carefully and wrap it in multiple layers of durable, weather-resistant material to ensure it is fully protected from moisture and handling during its journey to you.

Please remember that our rugs are handmade by artisans, not by machines. Slight variations in color, pattern, weave, and size are natural characteristics of these one-of-a-kind items. These charming imperfections are not considered defects but are part of the unique story and beauty of each piece.
Is Moroccan wool rugs durable and suitable for high-traffic areas?
Absolutely. Hand-knotted from 100% sheep wool, Moroccan rugs are renowned for their durability and resilience. Our rugs are perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and other frequently used spaces, but be sure to follow care instructions, like rotating regularly, to keep it looking its best for years.
Do newly made wool Moroccan rugs shed?
It is completely normal for a new wool rug to shed a little at first. This is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool fibres and a sign of its authenticity. This initial shedding will decrease significantly over a few weeks with regular, gentle vacuuming.
Will the rug I receive look exactly like the one in the photo?
You will receive the exact rug shown in the photos. However, please remember that these are handmade items. We do our best to capture the colours accurately, but they may vary slightly depending on your screen's lighting and calibration. Any minor variations or "imperfections" in the pattern are part of the unique story and charm of your one-of-a-kind piece.
What are your rugs made of?
Our rugs are crafted from 100% natural, locally sourced sheep's wool. The wool's quality gives the rugs their signature softness, durability, and rich texture. The foundation (or warp) of the rug is sometimes made of cotton, which provides a strong and stable base for the wool knots.
