Warm Taupe Moroccan Rug with Brown and Cream Bars – Statement Hand Knotted Wool Beni Mrirt Area Rug

A warm taupe Moroccan rug with brown and cream bars, hand-knotted in thick Beni Mrirt wool. Across a plush field of warm taupe, a soft brown-grey like mushroom, stand ten tall groups of three touching bars: espresso brown, ivory and espresso again. On the 8x10 they sit in three tiers of three, four and three, each tier drifting a third of a step sideways, so the groups never line up into a grid.

It is a quietly bold rug with a steady, architectural rhythm and a warm neutral ground. It suits a living room, bedroom, dining room or lounge, and it is also woven on an earthy rose field, a soft brown-pink like clay.

Details

  • Hand-knotted by Berber weavers in the Middle Atlas, Morocco
  • 100% wool pile about 25 mm (1 in) deep: warm taupe, espresso brown and ivory fleece, or a wash-tested earthy rose field on the rose colourway; bars about 3.5 to 4 in wide
  • Each colour is carded, and dyed where it is dyed, in one batch for your rug; natural undyed fleece and hand-dyed wool vary gently in tone, which is part of its character
  • Plain narrow flat-woven ends in the field colour (taupe, or rose on the rose colourway) with a short ivory fringe; each size is the size of the woven rug, fringe not included. Ends without fringe on request at no charge
  • Woven to order in 4–6 weeks, then delivered in 3–5 business days with free US shipping
  • Available in every standard size from 3x5 to 14x20 ft, including 9x12, 10x14, 10x10 and 12x15 ft, and as a runner from 2.5x8 to 3x22 ft; the design is drawn to the proportions of each size, and other sizes are available on request
  • Progress photos from the loom while your rug is woven
  • New wool sheds a little for the first few months; vacuum on suction only

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.
