Vintage Beni Ourain Rug - Cream & Black
From The Archives
A timeless vintage Beni Ourain rug, hand-woven in the Atlas Mountains in the 1970s by Berber artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations.
This authentic piece features a creamy white wool base, softened by age and use, and overlaid with black geometric line work that's simple, graphic and quietly striking. The thick, shaggy pile is made from 100% sheep’s wool, naturally warm underfoot and beautifully textured, while hand-plaited tassels finish the rug with an unmistakably artisanal touch.
Beni Ourain rugs were traditionally woven for warmth in the mountain homes of Morocco, and this piece carries that original purpose - practical, soulful and deeply connected to place. Its neutral palette makes it endlessly versatile, grounding modern, minimalist or layered bohemian interiors with ease.
As with all vintage pieces, subtle variations and signs of age are part of its story, a reminder that this rug has lived a life before finding its way to you.
One of a kind. Ethically & Sustainably sourced.

About Our Rugs
Since 2016 we've been working directly with local family businesses, artisan makers and specialist carpet traders across Morocco to source our rugs.
They are all unique one-offs, authentic vintage finds and handmade items - so areas of wear, imperfect shapes, slight variations in size, loose threads and discolourations in areas are all part of buying rugs of this age and handmade nature.
We take great care to accurately describe and show the condition, colours and texture of our rugs in our online photography - including shooting in natural light and from different angles to give you as close to in-real-life representation as possible.
We are always happy to provide more photos and information of our rugs before you purchase.
If in doubt, please get in touch first before completing your order.
Rug Cleaning & Care
We recommend light vacuuming and occasionally hanging your rug outside in the sunshine for some fresh air.
For small spills and stains spot cleaning can be done straight away with mild soapy water.
For tougher stains we recommend to use a professional rug cleaning service that specialises in vintage and antique carpets.
