Indigo Blue Moroccan Rug – Vintage Beni M'Guild Handwoven Wool (10.6 × 7.1 ft)

This Indigo Blue Moroccan Rug is a stunning example of vintage craftsmanship from the Beni M'Guild tribe of the 1980s. Measuring 10.6 by 7.1 feet, it features a striking indigo blue field, highlighted by a bold diamond lattice pattern outlined in black. The design reflects the tribe’s rich tradition, with the interlocking trellis symbolizing protection and unity. This rug’s deep cobalt-blue hue is rare and highly prized among collectors of vintage Moroccan rugs.

Rare Indigo Blue Palette with Bold Contrast

The indigo blue color is the standout feature of this rug. Its deep, saturated shade creates a dramatic backdrop for the sharply defined black diamonds. Subtle tonal variations in the blue wool reveal natural dyeing processes and hand-spun yarn. This adds depth and texture, giving the rug a luxurious, velvety appearance. The interplay of blue and black brings a bold yet balanced visual impact to any room.

 Plush, High-Pile Texture for Warmth and Comfort

Handwoven from 100% wool, this rug boasts a high pile that feels thick and plush underfoot. Originally designed to withstand the harsh Atlas Mountain winters, Beni M'Guild rugs offer excellent insulation and warmth. The dense pile traps heat and creates a cozy atmosphere, perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, or reading nooks. Its texture invites you to slow down and enjoy tactile comfort.

Versatile Style for Modern and Moody Interiors

This indigo blue rug works beautifully in various interior styles. Its deep color and graphic design make it a statement piece for modern or minimalist spaces. Against neutral walls and contemporary furnishings, it adds richness and visual interest. For moody interiors, it offers a luxurious pop of color that complements darker tones and natural materials. Whether layered on hardwood floors or soft carpets, this rug elevates any setting.

 Authentic Craftsmanship from the Beni M'Guild Tribe

Each rug from the Beni M'Guild tribe tells a story of heritage and skill. Woven by Berber artisans using age-old techniques, the rug’s intricate diamond lattice pattern carries cultural symbolism. The interlocking diamonds are believed to provide protection and foster unity among families. The hand-spun wool and natural indigo dyes are testaments to the tribe’s commitment to sustainable and authentic 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?

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.

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.
