Authentic Moroccan Wool Rug – 8.3 × 4.9 ft of Handwoven Comfort and Character

This Beni Ourain Moroccan wool rug, measuring 8.3 by 4.9 feet (252 × 150 cm), is an authentic Moroccan wool rug crafted with a distinctive, uneven design. This unique irregularity—intentional and meaningful—adds artistic depth and a soulful, hand-touched look to your living space.

Why an Authentic Moroccan Wool Rug Is More Than Just Decor

The beauty of a Moroccan wool rug lies in its imperfections. Handwoven by Berber artisans in the Atlas Mountains, this Beni Ourain rug embodies centuries of weaving tradition passed from mother to daughter. Its uneven pattern isn’t a flaw—it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, human touch, and lived experience.

The use of 100% natural wool gives it a soft, dense texture that offers both warmth and comfort. It’s not just something you place on the floor—it’s a story, a tradition, and a centerpiece.

A Perfect Size for Versatile Styling

At 8.3 × 4.9 ft (252 × 150 cm), this rug is ideal for:

  • Anchoring a mid-sized living room

  • Placing under a coffee table

  • Creating a defined area in an open-plan space

  • Adding softness to a bedroom or guest room

  • Laying beside a bed for luxurious foot comfort

Its rectangular shape and neutral tones make it easy to integrate into various design styles—bohemian, Scandinavian, modern, or rustic.

Crafted from Natural Wool, Designed to Last

This Moroccan wool rug is handwoven from 100% natural sheep’s wool. It’s free from synthetic dyes and harmful chemicals, making it an eco-conscious, hypoallergenic option.

Wool is a naturally durable and insulating fiber. It’s flame-resistant, moisture-wicking, and easy to maintain with basic vacuuming and occasional professional cleaning. The rug’s sturdy weave ensures it will age beautifully—softening with time and use.

Uneven Patterns: A Signature of True Beni Ourain Rugs

The most recognizable feature of Beni Ourain rugs is their simple, often diamond-based patterns. This particular rug features an uneven, asymmetric design—a trait that collectors and designers appreciate for its authenticity.

In Berber culture, these patterns often carry symbolic meaning. Lines may represent rivers, paths, or life transitions. Diamonds can symbolize protection or fertility. These motifs are woven instinctively, not from a template—so each piece is one-of-a-kind.

Styling Tips for Your Beni Ourain Moroccan Wool Rug

Whether your space is minimalist or maximalist, this authentic Moroccan rug brings it all together. Here’s how to style it:

  • Contrast with modern furniture: Let the rug add warmth beneath clean, minimalist lines.

  • Layer with bold textiles: Throw blankets and pillows bring out the softness in its neutral palette.

  • Use in light-colored spaces: The dark geometric pattern will pop against pale walls and furniture.

  • Let it ground bold art: The natural wool tones balance out colorful or expressive wall pieces.

  • Pair with wood and metal: This enhances the organic yet structured character of the rug.

Why Choose an Artisan Beni Ourain Rug?

  • True handmade quality: Every knot is placed by hand.

  • Natural, breathable material: Wool is healthier for indoor air quality.

  • Timeless appeal: The pattern never goes out of style.

  • Cultural heritage: You’re bringing a piece of Moroccan tradition into your home.

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.

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.
