Moroccan Rug, Cream Abstract Shag Berber Wool

From $89 to $12,440

This Moroccan rug scatters fine navy, burnt-orange and blush lines across a warm cream field, a soft wool shag hand-knotted in the M'rirt region of the Middle Atlas. The lines look sketched rather than planned, and that is the charm: a weaver's freehand drawing, fixed in wool. Each piece is made to order by Amazigh (Berber) women, working a craft carried through generations in the Moroccan mountains. High-altitude M'rirt sheep grow long, lustrous fibres that give the shag its sheen and softness, while the natural lanolin in live wool helps the rug resist stains and wear. The colours come from organic dyes of local plants and spices, and black-and-white checkered flat-weave borders end in long hand-braided cream fringe. It is a true hand-knotted rug, never machine-made. Woven from 100% natural sheep wool, the pile is a relaxed shag, deep enough to sink your toes into yet easy to live with. Keep it looking its best by vacuuming gently without a beater bar, rotating it now and then for even wear, and blotting spills immediately with a damp cloth. An occasional professional clean refreshes the cream ground. As a modern shag it softens minimalist and Scandinavian rooms without cluttering them. Against pale furniture it becomes a beige living-room rug with a bit of wit, and the soft cream surface stays kind to bare feet in a bedroom or nursery. The checkered borders make a favourite corner for photographs. The 5x8 size shown suits cosier spaces, and the weavers can repeat the design at 6x9, 8x10, 9x12 or any custom dimension you send us. Every rug is quality-checked, rolled and shipped with free, fully tracked worldwide delivery included, with no minimum order and nothing extra to pay. Warm, useful and quietly artful, it makes a lasting wool anniversary or housewarming gift. Bring home a Moroccan rug that feels drawn by hand, because it was.
