Vintage 1970s Beni M’Guild Rug, 290 x 190 cm, V-166
Vintage Beni M'Guild Rug – Earthy Warmth & Timeless Heritage
Circa 1970s · Handwoven in the Middle Atlas Mountains, Morocco
This exquisite Beni M’Guild rug is a rare vintage piece, carefully hand-knotted by Berber women from the Middle Atlas in the 1970s. Woven entirely in natural wool, its warm terracotta tones, deep browns, and faded greens speak of the passage of time, storytelling, and heritage.
🧭 Symbolic Geometry
The central diamond lattice design, framed by protective border motifs, carries ancestral meanings — strength, protection, and connection to nature. The palette, softly faded by the sun and age, blends beautifully with neutral or earthy interiors.
🪶 Soft & Textured
This rug has a medium to dense pile, offering comfort and softness underfoot, ideal for cozy living rooms, bedrooms, or artistic studios. It brings both a tactile experience and a rich sense of character to any space.
🌱 Authenticity in Every Thread
You’ll notice irregularities in the weave and tone — these are not flaws but rather marks of authenticity. Each knot was made by hand, each color derived from traditional dyeing methods using plant-based or mineral pigments.

Boucherouite rugs:
Boucherouite rugs have the advantage of being washable with soap and water. Although it is true that domestic washing machines normally do not support so much weight of a wet rug, there are laundries with industrial machines adapted to this kind of weight. If you decide to hand wash it at home, just make sure that it is well rinsed and dried in the sun very well!
Beni ourain rugs / Azilal rugs:
For this type of rugs made of 100% natural untreated sheep's wool, you can vacuum it frequently, you just have to avoid rotating brushes. The first few days you may notice that your rug is shedding wool into balls and that the vacuum bag fills up quickly. This is a normal process that after a few days will stabilize.
Our tip for a home cleaning with natural products is to make a mixture with baking soda and coarse salt, spread the mixture on the rug and let it act for one or two hours, and vacuum well. The bicarbonate serves to neutralize and disinfect naturally and the salt drags away any dust deposited on the rug.
It is recommended that in the season of more sun, you take advantage to air the rug and give it the sun.
For small liquid stains (coffee, wine, tea ... etc) act immediately by applying directly the mixture of baking soda and salt (a small pile on), let it act for about 30 minutes, and vacuum! This mixture makes it absorb the liquids.
For a complete and deep cleaning, we recommend for any type of wool rug, to contact a specialized professional.
Vintage rugs are delicate pieces, and that is why we recommend cleaning with the vacuum cleaner in soft mode, and for a deep cleaning better take it to a professional.
How do I save my rug?
If you wish to save your Berber rug for a season, you can do so by rolling it up and sprinkling a mixture of baking soda, salt and lavender flowers on it in a closed cotton bag.
The baking soda acts as an odour neutralizer and disinfectant, the lavender flowers act as a natural insect repellent and give a pleasant aroma during the time it is rolled up. The salt will help you to drag this mixture when you vacuum it up the moment you are going to use it again!
