The Handwoven Moroccan purple Beni-M’Guild rug is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, heritage, and style. Measuring 10 x 6 ft (305 x 185 cm), this vibrant piece instantly transforms any room into a space filled with warmth, texture, and cultural richness. Crafted entirely from 100% natural wool, it offers a luxurious underfoot experience while showcasing the artistry of Morocco’s renowned Beni MGuild weaving tradition.
purple Beni-M’Guild rug – Moroccan Craftsmanship at Its Finest
Beni MGuild rugs originate from Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains, an area celebrated for producing some of the world’s most treasured Berber carpets. Traditionally woven by Amazigh women, each rug is a one-of-a-kind creation, telling a unique story through its patterns and colors. The deep, royal purple hue of this rug symbolizes both creativity and spiritual depth, while subtle tonal variations add dimension and depth.
This particular rug features a dense wool pile—a signature of Beni MGuild designs—making it exceptionally soft and durable. The thick weave provides insulation and comfort, making it perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, or large reading nooks.
A Design That Blends Symbolism and Style
The geometric motifs woven into Beni MGuild rugs often carry deep symbolic meanings. Diamonds may represent protection, zigzags can symbolize life’s journey, and intricate borders often mark boundaries between life stages. The harmonious interplay of design and color creates a statement piece that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Its purple base pairs beautifully with warm neutrals like beige and cream, or with bold contrasts like gold and teal. This versatility allows the rug to seamlessly integrate into various design styles—from Bohemian Chic to Modern Minimalism.
The Heritage of Beni MGuild Rugs
Beni MGuild rugs are renowned for their reversible nature—dense pile on one side for warmth in winter, and a flatwoven reverse for cooler months. This feature reflects the resourcefulness of Moroccan artisans who weave not just for beauty, but for practical living. Owning a Beni MGuild rug means becoming part of a lineage of artistry that dates back centuries.
The weaving process involves weeks of meticulous work, from washing and carding the wool to hand-spinning, dyeing, and knotting. No industrial shortcuts—only pure, human skill. According to the Brooklyn Museum - Arts Décoratifs, Moroccan rugs are more than decorative items; they are woven histories, carrying the stories and identities of their makers.

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.

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.
