Beni M'Guild wool rug – A Handwoven Masterpiece of Tribal Elegance
This highly collectible Moroccan Beni M'Guild wool rug is a genuine representation of tribal art and heritage. Measuring 10.1 x 6.5 feet (307 x 198 cm), it is meticulously handwoven by Berber women from the Beni M'Guild tribe in the Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Crafted from 100% sheep wool, this rug is celebrated for its plush texture, intricate design, and bold identity.
The rug’s deep, rich colors and bold geometric motifs reflect centuries of tradition, symbolizing protection, fertility, and the rhythm of life. It’s more than decor—it’s living heritage.
Handwoven by the Beni M'Guild Tribe
The Beni M'Guild are known for their high-pile wool rugs, traditionally woven to withstand cold mountain climates. These rugs were not just artistic creations but practical household items—used as beds, blankets, and protective floor coverings.
Every Beni M'Guild wool rug tells a story through its color and shape. The weavers, mostly women, encode personal and tribal histories into each knot, forming a narrative visible only to those who understand its symbolic language. This tradition of "woven storytelling" makes each rug a unique cultural artifact.
Plush Wool Pile and Artisan Craftsmanship
This Beni M'Guild rug features a thick, luxurious pile that provides comfort underfoot and an inviting softness to any room. The use of high-quality sheep wool ensures durability and warmth, making it suitable for both functional and decorative purposes.
Its hand-knotted texture is dense and resilient, with just the right amount of give, perfect for relaxing barefoot or layering in cozy interiors. The rug is finished with hand-twisted fringes, reinforcing its artisan origins.
Striking Berber Design Meets Timeless Aesthetic
At the core of this rug’s appeal is its bold Berber carpet design. Angular motifs, zigzags, and diamonds dominate the surface—traditional symbols believed to offer spiritual protection or represent natural elements such as rivers, mountains, and seeds. The mix of deep reds, rusty browns, faded pinks, and muted plums gives this rug a vibrant yet grounded appearance.
These rugs are highly adaptable and can transition seamlessly between different interior styles, from rustic bohemian to sleek modern. Their geometric strength provides balance in minimalist spaces, while their history adds depth to maximalist rooms.
A Statement Piece for Modern Interiors
Though rooted in tradition, this Moroccan Beni M'Guild wool rug blends effortlessly into modern spaces. Place it in:
-
A neutral-toned living room as a central statement
-
A minimalist bedroom for texture and depth
-
A reading nook layered with cushions and natural light
-
A gallery-inspired hallway or studio with wood, stone, or concrete surfaces
The warm color palette and strong lines make it a powerful grounding element in any setting.
Sustainable and Ethically Made
Choosing a Beni M'Guild rug supports sustainable craftsmanship. The wool is sourced ethically, and the dyeing process often uses natural or low-impact pigments. By purchasing this rug, you're helping preserve traditional Moroccan weaving techniques and providing income to rural artisan communities.

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.

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.
