Moroccan Rugs

A Moroccan rug is any rug handwoven in Morocco, usually by Berber (Amazigh) women working within a tribal or regional weaving tradition - Beni Ourain, Boujad, Azilal and other traditional handcraft regions of the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

The term covers a huge range of styles and designs, from plush cream shaggy wool to flat woven mats and bold brightly coloured pieces, all sharing the same handmade nature.

Vintage pieces are mostly aged 30-80 years old, one-off finds we source and restore -once one sells, it's gone. 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 made 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.

Contemporary rugs are newly handwoven in the same traditional weaving methods with more modern colours, wools and designs, so you can find a more contemporary look with more consistent sizing.

All Berber rugs are Moroccan rugs, but not all Moroccan rugs are Berber-made - some come from urban workshops or use non-traditional weaving techniques for the modern market.

If you specifically want a rug handwoven by Berber artisans, our Berber Rugs collection is the place to start.

Yes, every rug we sell is handwoven, not machine-made or printed to look handwoven so what you're getting is a genuine piece, not a reproduction made to look like a Moroccan rug.

Most are 100% wool, sort after for being soft underfoot, warm and durable enough to last decades.

Boucherouite rugs are the exception woven from up-cycled fabric and clothing rather than wool, which gives them their distinctive eclectic patchwork colours and textures.

Measure your space first, then shop by size - runners for hallways, small-to-medium for bedrooms, apartments and study nooks, large or extra large for open plan living and dining rooms.

It's worth deciding on size before you fall for a rug's colour or pattern; Moroccan rugs come in a wide range of sizes and shapes so finding one exactly like the one you've fallen in love but in the size you need can be tricky!

Each handwoven piece will have a unique size and shape rather than coming in standardised sizes.

Vacuum regularly on a low setting, occasionally hanging it outside for some air and loosen any dirt and dust. We also recommend rotating it's position every few months to help with even wear, and dealing with spills immediately rather than letting them sit.

Wool naturally resists staining, so spills tended to quickly with some mild soapy water usually does the trick. For trickier stains we'd always recommend a professional rug cleaning service that specialises in antique carpets for anything more than a light spill.

Age, size, wool quality, and how intricate the weave is all play a part, but with vintage pieces specifically, rarity matters too — a well-preserved 60-year-old rug in a sought-after pattern will cost more than a similar-looking newer piece simply because there's only one of it.

We work with local family businesses and artisan weavers to wash and repair, and hand restore our rugs. This is included in our prices and done before each rug is shipped to its new home around the world.
