Abstract Art Moroccan Rug, Handmade Terracotta Berber Wool
From $89 to $12,440
Abstract art comes to life underfoot in this handmade terracotta and pink striped Moroccan Beni Ourain wool rug, hand-knotted knot by knot by Amazigh (Berber) artisans high in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Concentric bands of rust and blush radiate outward from a single diamond at the center, giving the piece the rhythmic, gallery-worthy feel of a modern canvas laid across your floor. Every rug in this collection is woven on a traditional upright loom using techniques passed down through generations of Berber weaving families. The tribes of the Middle and High Atlas have made these carpets for centuries, first as warm bedding against mountain winters and later as prized heirlooms. Because each carpet is created entirely by hand, the natural dye variations and small irregularities in the wool are not flaws but signatures of authentic craftsmanship, proof that no two pieces are ever exactly alike. The pile is spun from one hundred percent natural sheep wool in warm terracotta and soft pink tones set against an undyed ivory ground. The plush high pile feels soft and grounding underfoot, while a tight flat-weave reverse gives the carpet real weight and a graceful drape. Hand-braided ivory tassels finish both ends, echoing the rug's earthy, bohemian character. To style it, layer this terracotta weave in a boho or contemporary living room, anchor a neutral bedroom, or warm up a dining nook or nursery. Its rust and blush palette pairs beautifully with rattan, linen, terracotta pottery and trailing greenery, and its 5 by 7 proportions suit a seating area or the foot of a bed. Care is simple: vacuum on low suction, spot-clean spills with mild soap and cold water, keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight, and turn to professional cleaning once a year. Shipping is always free; your rug arrives rolled, wrapped and tracked, ready to bring handwoven warmth home.
