Moroccan Handmade Rug – A Celebration of Beni M’Guild Heritage and Artistry
This Moroccan Handmade Rug embodies the spirit of the Beni M’Guild weaving tradition from Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains. Measuring 11.9 × 7.1 ft (363 × 216 cm), it combines bold design, natural materials, and centuries-old symbolism.
Its symmetrical composition centers around large diamond medallions, surrounded by intricate lozenges and triangular motifs—each representing protection, fertility, and harmony with nature. This rug is both a statement of craftsmanship and a living artifact of Moroccan culture.
Authentic Moroccan Handmade Rug Craftsmanship
Every Moroccan rug is woven entirely by hand by Berber women using techniques passed down through generations. These artisans work on traditional wooden looms, creating rugs from memory rather than pattern.
Each knot reflects skill, patience, and creative intuition. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece that carries the identity of its maker and the authenticity of ancestral design.
A Palette Rooted in Nature
The color story of this Moroccan Handmade Rug features deep magentas, purples, burnt oranges, and charcoal blacks—tones achieved through natural, plant-based dyes. Pomegranate rind, madder root, and henna yield earthy warmth, while iron oxide produces the dramatic black accents.
This interplay of colors creates balance and movement. The contrast between orange and black highlights the diamond motifs, giving the rug visual energy while maintaining an organic, earthy feel.
Symbolism and Meaning
Moroccan rugs are more than textiles—they are woven languages. The nested diamond medallions in this Beni M’Guild rug symbolize protection from misfortune and fertility, while triangular and lozenge shapes express femininity and life’s cyclical nature.
The vertical centerline dividing the rug into mirrored halves represents balance between body and spirit, while the rhythmic border of alternating diamonds frames the design with order and continuity. Each motif serves as both art and storytelling.
Textural Beauty and Handmade Integrity
Crafted from 100% natural wool, this rug offers a dense, tactile texture that feels luxurious underfoot. The wool’s natural oils create softness and a subtle sheen.
Slightly uneven edges and fringed ends remind you of its handwoven origin—imperfections that elevate its authenticity. Every irregularity is proof of human touch, enhancing the rug’s character and uniqueness.
A Statement for Modern Interiors
The Moroccan Handmade Rug makes a powerful statement in any interior. Its deep, warm palette complements natural wood tones, neutral walls, and layered textiles.
Ideal for bohemian, rustic, or contemporary spaces, it serves as both a grounding element and a focal point. Whether styled beneath a dining table, in a living area, or layered over concrete floors, it transforms any space into one filled with soul and story.
Celebrated by Global Designers
Moroccan rugs have long been revered by interior designers and collectors worldwide. According to Architectural Digest, “authentic Moroccan rugs introduce warmth, imperfection, and humanity into even the most minimalist interiors.”
The Beni M’Guild rugs, in particular, are prized for their strong geometric patterns and rich natural hues. They merge cultural storytelling with modern sensibility—an essential for homes seeking both authenticity and artistry.
Ethical Craftsmanship and Sustainability
At Surcoma, each rug is sourced directly from Moroccan cooperatives that uphold fair-trade standards. Artisans receive fair wages and work in safe, empowering environments that sustain their communities and traditions.

Care and Longevity
To preserve the rug’s natural beauty, vacuum gently with low suction and avoid rotating brushes. Spot-clean using cold water and mild soap, blotting rather than rubbing.
For long-term care, professional wool cleaning is recommended. With time, the colors may soften slightly, enhancing the rug’s vintage appeal and deepening its natural patina.

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.

Expect your parcel to arrive within 6-15 business days, depending on your location. You will receive a tracking number via email as soon as your order is on its way.
Will I have to pay customs fees or import duties?
Due to recent U.S. tariff changes, imports from Morocco are subject to a 10% duty plus standard customs fees; however, under our Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) terms, we will take full responsibility for these import charges ourselves, so you won’t have to pay anything extra.
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.

To be eligible for a refund, the rug must be returned in its original, unused, and undamaged condition. Please note that for general returns, the customer is responsible for the full cost of the return shipping. We recommend using a trackable and insured shipping service.
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.
