tribal Moroccan rug – Handwoven Moroccan Wool Masterpiece
This tribal Moroccan rug from Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains showcases traditional craftsmanship through its bold, symmetrical diamond medallions. Each central diamond symbolizes protection and harmony, motifs deeply rooted in Amazigh weaving traditions. Measuring 10.6 × 5.9 feet (322 × 180 cm), it offers substantial coverage for living spaces while serving as a cultural statement piece.
The vibrant red field is enriched with deep indigo, violet, ivory, terracotta, and black accents. These hues are achieved through natural dyes, applied in processes passed down through generations. The interplay of colors creates visual depth and balance, making the rug captivating from any angle.
Why Choose a tribal Moroccan rug
Beni M’Guild rugs hail from Morocco’s Middle Atlas region, an area renowned for producing thick-pile rugs designed to withstand cold mountain winters. The combination of bold designs and durable materials makes them both functional and beautiful.
The symmetrical medallion layout offers harmony, while angular and zigzag motifs add movement and energy. These geometric forms are more than decoration — they carry stories and meanings tied to Amazigh culture.

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.

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.
