Cream Moroccan Ladder Rug and Runner – Hand Knotted Wool Beni Mrirt Area Rug

A cream Moroccan ladder rug, hand-knotted in thick Beni Mrirt wool. Two long ladders run the length of a plush field of undyed ivory, side by side: each has two straight rails of natural espresso brown and short rungs that alternate espresso and camel. On the 8x10 the left ladder has eleven rungs and the right ladder ten, set half a step lower, so the rungs never line up across the rug.

It is a light, architectural rug with an easy rhythm, and woven as a runner it carries a single ladder down a hallway. It suits a living room, bedroom, dining room or sunroom, and it is also woven with the camel rungs in a soft dusty mauve.

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.
