Berber Rug – Handmade Terracotta Wool Striped Carpet
$99.00
This berber rug brings the warmth of authentic Moroccan craftsmanship home, its terracotta and rust wool glowing against a soft cream fringe. Hand-knotted by the El Abbassi family in their own workshops in Morocco's Rabat-Salé region, it carries generations of Amazigh weaving knowledge in every carved line. The design follows the striped Berber tradition — tone-on-tone geometric bands running edge to edge — reinterpreted here for the modern room. Each piece is worked at ten to sixteen knots per square inch, a density that gives the wool its springy, cushioned feel underfoot. The fibres are hand-dyed in small batches, so the terracotta deepens and lightens gently across the surface, and no two rugs share exactly the same rhythm of colour. A blue-and-white checked band and hand-knotted cream tassels finish the ends, a quiet nod to the artisan's hand. Styling this rug is easy. Its earthy, sunbaked palette anchors farmhouse, boho and mid-century modern interiors alike, and the plush shag pile invites bare feet. Lay it under a low coffee table in the living room, float it beneath the foot of a bed, or let it warm a reading nook or sunroom. The neutral cream and warm rust tones sit happily with leather, rattan, linen and pale oak. Caring for wool is simple. Vacuum regularly on a gentle setting, without a beater bar, to protect the pile. Blot spills straightaway and spot-clean with cold water and a mild soap. An annual professional clean keeps the colours fresh, and rotating the rug seasonally helps it wear evenly. Made to order in the size that suits your space, this handmade wool rug ships rolled, wrapped and fully tracked. Standard worldwide shipping is free on every order and already included in the price — there is no minimum and nothing to add at checkout. It arrives ready to unroll and live with for years.
