Moroccan Solid Beni M’Guild Rug – Bold Color, Tribal Heritage
Moroccan Solid Beni M’Guild Rug: Exotic Elegance with Deep Roots
Add a touch of exotic elegance to your home with our Moroccan Solid Beni M’Guild Rug, a handcrafted 7.6 x 5.9 ft (233 x 181 cm) masterpiece. Woven in Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains, this rug is known for its dense wool pile, luxurious feel, and bold single-color statement—in this case, a striking shade of purple.
The Beni M’Guild weaving tradition is celebrated for producing high-pile, richly dyed rugs designed to withstand mountain winters while adding beauty to homes. This piece carries that same blend of practicality and artistry into your modern living space.
A Heritage of Craftsmanship
Beni M’Guild rugs are the work of Amazigh (Berber) artisans who have perfected their techniques over generations. Using locally sourced wool, each rug is hand-knotted with care and dyed with pigments that produce deep, lasting colors. Historically, these rugs served as both bedding and decorative elements, embodying warmth, durability, and cultural identity.
In Moroccan culture, colors often hold symbolic meaning. Purple, with its rarity and richness, can represent creativity, spirituality, and dignity—qualities that resonate in this rug’s presence.
Luxurious Texture and Comfort
The Beni M’Guild Rug features a thick, plush pile that feels indulgent underfoot. The high-pile construction provides insulation, making it perfect for adding warmth in bedrooms, lounges, or reading corners.
The dense wool fibers are naturally resilient, resisting wear and maintaining their shape over time. Wool also naturally repels dust and stains, making it as practical as it is beautiful.
A Solid Color with Subtle Nuance
While the rug is solid in color, its hand-dyed wool displays subtle tonal variations. These shifts in hue add depth and visual interest, preventing the rug from appearing flat. This quiet complexity allows the rug to function as both a statement piece and a harmonious backdrop in your décor.
The bold purple hue can anchor a room’s color scheme or provide a dramatic contrast in a neutral space.
Versatile Placement and Styling
-
Minimalist Spaces: Let the rug’s bold color act as the main focal point.
-
Eclectic Rooms: Pair with patterned textiles and global accents for a collected look.
-
Modern Interiors: Use as a grounding base for sleek furniture and clean lines.
Its medium-large size works well under a coffee table, at the foot of a bed, or as a centerpiece in a living room.
Sustainable and Ethical Craft
This rug is made from 100% natural wool, sourced locally and processed using eco-friendly methods. By purchasing a rug, you support artisan communities in the Middle Atlas region, helping to preserve their craft in a rapidly modernizing world.
Every piece is unique, reflecting the individuality of the artisan who made it.
Caring for Your Moroccan Rug
Vacuum regularly on a low-suction setting to remove dust. Rotate the rug periodically to ensure even wear. For spills, blot immediately with a clean cloth—avoid rubbing, as this can push stains deeper into the fibers. Professional cleaning is recommended for deep refreshes.
With proper care, your rug will remain a vibrant and cherished part of your home for decades.

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.

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.
