About Beni MGuild Rugs

Recognisable by their typical linear geometric patterns showing from underneath their thick and heavy medium to high-pile wool surface. These popular Berber carpets are handwoven on traditional looms, originating from the Beni MGuild of the Atlas Mountains of Morocco where cold Winters call for thick floor coverings.

The Beni MGuild region is known for its distinctive weaving techniques, producing rugs in their own unique recognisable style and design. Handwoven using 100% wool, naturally plant and vegetable dyed, these rugs are a beautiful example of Berber women's artisanship and weaving traditions.

Medium and large area rugs generally measure from 1.5 x 2.5 meters to extra-large 2 x 4 meter creations, with the largest rugs rarely exceeding 2 meters in width due to the limitations of old weaving looms.

Our Guide: The Different Types Of Moroccan Rugs

How do you clean a Moroccan rug?

We recommend regular vacuuming on a light setting and occasionally hanging your rug up outside in the fresh air and natural sunlight to give it some air.

Due to the nature of natural dyes and delicate materials, spot cleaning of your rug should only ever be done with mild soapy water - no chemicals or cleaning agents.

Natural dyes, in particular dark reds, can sometimes bleed or transfer onto other surfaces when wet, so try and avoid placing on top of carpets or other rugs if you’re worried about spills.

If you've had a major spill, or there's grubby marks from use - expert rug cleaning services are found in all major cities in Australia.

There's an article here that goes into more detail about the washing and repairs process

FAQ - Rug Cleaning & Care

Are they genuine vintage Moroccan rugs?

Our collection of genuine vintage Moroccan rugs ranges from mid-century 1950s aged all the way through to more contemporary style vintage rugs of the 1980s and 90s.

Genuine vintage Moroccan rugs have been handwoven by Berber women many years ago for personal use in the home, to mark an occasion like a birth or wedding, or for trade.

Most vintage rugs have had a life well lived in family homes before making their way to the carpet auctions in the mountains, and the souks of the major cities.

The rugs of this age are unique in that the weaving style, materials, natural dyes and wool quality is no longer found in the newly make rugs from Morocco.

With the popularity of the vintage Moroccan pieces over the last few decades, finding the true vintage pieces in great condition is becoming much harder.

How are Moroccan rugs faded?

Most of the faded vintage Moroccan rugs you'll see on the market have started their life either as a deep red, purple or rich ochre colour that has been washed back to a softer tonal pallet from the natural dyes having contact with direct sunlight.

The ones in good condition have been naturally sun faded with age and time. 

Due to the fairly recent trend for the muted tones and faded Moroccan pieces, sometimes older style rugs in deep colours which aren't as 'fashionable' now, will be left out in the sun to get this trending sun bleached and faded look.

Many rug sellers now artificially fade both new and old pieces with chemical bleach to get this similar effect. While this is a perfectly legitimate way to fade back a rug, it does affect the integrity of the wool fibres. So if you have purchased a chemically bleached rug you may find that the wool sheds and disintegrates over time.

We prefer to only source and stock rugs that are in their beautiful original condition, and with their original colourings that have naturally sun faded with age and time. We avoid any rugs that have been chemically bleached.

Do Moroccan rugs smell?

The nature of vintage rugs of this age, and the natural wool they are made of often means that a rug often holds a natural woolly smell. 

While this is common in vintage pieces, it should never be too noticeable or over baring.

The thick wool of a vintage Moroccan rug can often take on kitchen smells, bacteria from pets and spills from food over time.

Taking your rug to a professional rug cleaning service every couple of years is a great way to keep it in good condition for years to come.

This smell may seem stronger if stored in a confined space, like in plastic, or in a car on a hot day as wool sweats and can breed bacteria. So try to only ever store your rug in a breathable cotton cover.

If your rug has been in storage for a while, giving it some breathing space by hanging outside in natural light to kill any bacteria or musty smells.

If this doesn't fix the whiff, the best treatment is to take to a professional rug cleaning service for a routine clean, with an anti bacterial wash to kill any bacteria.
