Moroccan Rug, Handmade Burgundy Cream Mrirt Wool

From $89 to $12,440

This Moroccan rug pairs an open cream wool field with a double border of deep burgundy squares, hand-knotted to order in the M'rirt region of the Middle Atlas. Most of the rug stays calm and uncluttered; the character gathers at the edges, where two rows of burgundy squares frame the field like a picture. It is woven entirely by Amazigh (Berber) women, using a craft passed down through generations in the mountains of Morocco. High-altitude M'rirt sheep grow long, lustrous fibres, and the natural lanolin in live wool gives the pile its soft sheen and everyday resilience. The colours come from organic dyes drawn from local plants and spices, and the checkered flat-weave end-borders finish in hand-braided tassels. This is a true hand-knotted rug, tied knot by knot rather than machine-made. Made from 100% natural sheep wool, the pile sits medium-to-high, springy underfoot and warm in every season. Caring for it is easy: vacuum gently without a beater bar, rotate it occasionally so it wears evenly, and blot spills straight away with a damp cloth. A professional clean now and then keeps the cream field bright. The restrained burgundy-and-cream palette is quietly versatile. It reads modern in a contemporary room and rustic in a farmhouse one; keep your furniture legs inside the border and the framed effect stays intact. The geometry is calm enough for a dining room, where busier patterns tend to fight the table, and warm enough to anchor a living room or bedroom. The 8x10 size shown suits larger spaces, but the weavers can repeat these proportions at any custom dimension you need. Each rug is quality-checked, rolled and shipped with free, fully tracked worldwide delivery included, with no minimum order and no separate shipping charge. Deep red wool woven by hand also makes a warm wool anniversary or housewarming gift. Bring home a Moroccan rug built to be handed down.
