Brown and Cream Striped Moroccan Rug with Block Panel – Mid Century Modern Hand Knotted Wool Beni Mrirt Area Rug

A brown and cream striped Moroccan rug, hand-knotted in thick Beni Mrirt wool. Fifteen straight camel stripes run the full length of a plush ivory ground, and one solid panel of natural espresso brown is set into them off centre, with a square notch cut from one corner. The stripes stop against the panel and carry on beyond it, two of them running into the notch, so the rug reads like a piece of mid-century inlay.

It is a calm, graphic rug with one bold gesture, made almost entirely of natural undyed wool. It suits a living room, bedroom, dining room or home office, and it is also woven with the panel in a deep smoky green.

Care

Vacuum without a beater bar, rotate every six months, blot spills with cool water, and have it professionally washed every three to five years.

Each rug is knotted by hand, so expect small variations in colour and line.
