Vintage Beni M'Guild Rug – 10.7 x 6.1 ft

This vintage Beni Mguild rug, handcrafted in Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains, is a striking representation of tribal artistry and Amazigh heritage. Measuring 10.7 by 6.1 feet, it offers the perfect blend of tradition, symbolism, and warm, earthy tones — ideal for any space that values cultural depth and visual texture.

Traditional Design Meets Tribal Symbolism

At the heart of this vintage Beni Mguild rug is a bold composition of nested diamond medallions, ancient Amazigh symbols that represent protection, feminine strength, and harmony with nature. Between the central shapes, smaller checkerboards and triangle motifs create rhythm and movement. The vertical borders feature X and star-shaped icons — classic tribal elements that frame the rug’s field with geometric symmetry.

Rich Color Palette with Natural Dyes

The color scheme features a warm mix of orange, pink, magenta, lavender, and black — all derived from traditional plant-based dyes. These tones not only enhance the rug’s natural appeal but also reflect the landscape and spiritual heritage of the Moroccan Atlas region.

Thick Wool Pile & Authentic Craftsmanship

Woven from 100% high-quality wool, the rug has a plush, luxurious pile that brings instant warmth and comfort. Each knot is tied by hand, with subtle variations that highlight its authenticity. The short, pink fringe at the ends adds a charming handcrafted detail that completes the look.

 A Statement Piece for Global Interiors

This vintage Beni Mguild rug is perfect for those curating a bohemian, eclectic, or globally inspired space. Its vibrant palette and meaningful tribal design make it not just a floor covering, but a piece of cultural art — one that brings soul, color, and history into your home.

Cultural Significance & Interior Impact

A Beni M'Guild rug is more than just décor — it’s a living piece of Moroccan heritage.

Today, they carry that same depth of function and beauty into modern interiors.

Each Beni M'Guild rug carries subtle imperfections, asymmetries, and color variations that speak to its handmade nature. These details are not flaws, but rather signatures of authenticity — evidence that a skilled artisan, not a machine, poured hours of labor and tradition into every knot.

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?

For US-customers, there is no customs fees (due to An agreement that went into effect on January 1, 2006, designed to create open and fair trade between the United States and Morocco.) For other international orders shipped outside of Morocco, please be aware that your country's customs office may impose import duties, taxes, or fees. These potential charges are the responsibility of the customer. Customs policies vary widely by country, so we recommend contacting your local customs office for specific information on potential duties before placing your order.

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. We take every precaution to ensure your rug arrives in perfect condition.

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.
