Berber rug with colorful geometric patterns in natural wool - Handcrafted piece from Morocco

An exceptional Berber rug to enhance your space

This Berber rug captivates with its geometric patterns arranged vertically on a bright ecru background. Each colorful symbol is an interpretation of the history, beliefs, and daily lives of Berber weavers. It features diamond shapes, plant forms, and abstract symbols. Each woven figure expresses an intention, a wish, or a message of protection. The result is at once artistic, poetic, and decorative. This balance between modernity and tradition gives this Berber rug a timeless aesthetic.

Perfect for a living room, bedroom, or office, this rug adds structure without weighing down the visual decor. It immediately captures attention with its balanced symbols and characterful handcrafted weave. Thanks to its subtle palette—fuchsia pink, royal blue, fir green, deep black, and touches of ochre—it pairs easily with modern, bohemian, or minimalist furniture. It works equally well on light or dark floors and can create elegant contrast or soft harmony.

Authentic know-how passed down from generation to generation

Handwoven in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, this Azilal rug embodies an ancestral tradition. The wool used is 100% natural, sourced from local sheep. It is washed, spun, and dyed with mineral or plant pigments, without chemicals. This artisanal process is environmentally friendly and respects sensitive skin. The resulting texture is dense, soft, and warm.

Each piece requires several weeks of meticulous work. The irregularities in the weave testify to the authenticity of the product and reinforce its unique value. By purchasing this rug, you are supporting Moroccan craftsmanship and the financial independence of committed Berber women.

Technical characteristics and maintenance of the Berber carpet

This Moroccan rug measures approximately 260 x 158 cm, an ideal size for structuring a living room. Thanks to its density, it stays in place on smooth floors, but you can add a non-slip backing for added safety. It is also suitable for underfloor heating. In winter, it provides excellent insulation for feet from the cold.

Its thick wool provides exceptional comfort underfoot. This rug is scratch-free and lint-free, making it ideal for children and pets.

Easy to maintain, durable for everyday use

For maintenance, simply vacuum without the rotating brush once a week to remove dust. In case of accidental stains, gently dab with a clean, slightly damp cloth, without rubbing. Avoid harsh detergents that could alter the natural color of the wool. Professional cleaning every two years is strongly recommended to revive the fibers and maintain their suppleness. Moroccan rugs retain their vibrant colors even after several years, provided you avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. Remember to rotate them regularly for even aging of the surface.
