The beautiful history of Berber rugs

 Each rug has a story, an origin. Their name designates the region where they are weaved, the ethnic group, the tribe. Real experts can tell you about its age, and manufacture place. And yes, they have their own patterns, colors and twisting methods.

Whether it be short wool rugs, like the kilims or high wool like the Beni Ouarain, they all are from Berber regions in Morocco (Atlas, Taznakht, Sahara, Azilal and so on).

Berber rugs are well known for being the most elegant and refined ones. They are indispensable if you desire to create a welcoming, bohemian and chic interior design. Apart from the decorative aspect, they also are functional and comfortable.

Real Berber rugs made with Moroccan wool are recognizable according different aspects and criteriums. To avoid imitations, we advise you to read the following precisions:

• The material: The wool can be knotted, weaved or embroidered. It is very soft and extra virgin. It is from a sheep race of the Middle Atlas region.
• The knotting: A real handmade Berber rug is likely to be irregular. This is what makes its charm and will confirm that the rug is handmade (the differences in the knotting will be noticeable on the reverse/backwards). An industrial, as for it, is more likely to look flawless.
• The fringe: As you may have noticed, it is located in only one end of the Berber rug.
