Vintage Beni Ourain Rug - Cream & Charcoal Geometric
From The Archives
Soft, graphic and beautifully understated, this vintage Beni Ourain rug was hand-woven in Morocco in the 1970s using traditional Berber weaving techniques.
Its creamy wool ground is naturally warm and inviting, contrasted with charcoal geometric design that brings quiet structure and balance. Woven from thick, shaggy 100% sheep’s wool, the pile feels luxuriously dense underfoot - a hallmark of authentic Beni Ourain rugs originally made for warmth in the Atlas Mountains.
Finished with hand-plaited tassels, this piece carries the subtle irregularities and gentle wear that only time can create. Neutral and versatile, it works effortlessly in living spaces, bedrooms or studios — anchoring modern interiors while adding depth, texture and a sense of history.
Each vintage Beni Ourain rug is entirely unique, woven by hand and shaped by decades of use. Small variations are not flaws, but part of what makes this piece singular and soulful.
An authentic, one-of-a-kind rug - sourced with care and made to last another lifetime.

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.
