Vintage Beni Ourain Rug – 10.9 x 6.3 ft

Bring timeless elegance and cultural depth into your home with this vintage Beni Ourain rug from the 1980s. Woven by Berber artisans in Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains, this piece blends minimalist symbolism with exceptional warmth and softness. It’s more than a rug — it’s a story, a heritage, and a statement.


Iconic Diamond Motif with Symbolic Meaning

The rug’s natural ivory wool base is adorned with a repeating diamond lattice — a traditional Beni Ourain design. Each diamond encloses a small black dot, an emblem believed to offer protection and guidance. These motifs are passed down through generations as a way of expressing identity, belief, and tribal memory.


Made from 100% Natural Wool

Crafted from hand-spun, undyed wool, this vintage Beni Ourain rug showcases gentle tonal variations throughout the weave. The plush pile is thick and soft underfoot, offering unmatched comfort and natural warmth. The charcoal-black geometric lines provide bold contrast while retaining balance and harmony.


Perfect for Cozy, Layered Interiors

Measuring 10.9 by 6.3 feet, this rug is ideal for spacious bedrooms, cozy living rooms, or reading nooks. Its neutral palette allows for easy pairing with wood tones, textured textiles, or even bright Moroccan kilims. Whether layered or displayed alone, it anchors a room with cultural richness and subtle sophistication.


Beni Ourain Weaving Heritage

The Beni Ourain tribes are known for their distinct weaving style — clean lines, symbolic forms, and deep-rooted storytelling. Traditionally, these rugs served practical and spiritual functions, often used as bedding or prayer mats, with motifs representing lineage, nature, or protection.

If you'd like to explore the history of these artisan communities, this overview by The Met Museum offers insight into the cultural meaning behind Berber weaving traditions.

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.

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. 

What is your return policy?

We want you to be completely happy with your purchase. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your rug, you may return it within 14 days of delivery.

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.
