Finding the Right Moroccan-rugs for You
Antique and vintage Moroccan rugs serve as an exceptional piece of decor. Whether it’s to tie your bedroom together or to add a dazzling array of colors and graphically provocative shapes and other elements to your living room wall, there’s increased demand for all types of Moroccan tribal rugs, especially as bohemian, global and eco styles are on the rise and because tapestries and wall hangings are definitely cool again.
Travelers and interior design lovers from all over the world are big fans of the complex geometric patterns and bold color palettes that we typically associate with rustic, natural Moroccan and North African rugs.
In the West, the current infatuation with handwoven vintage Moroccan tribal rugs stretches to the mid-20th century. Then, designers such as Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier offset austere interiors with vibrant and alluring mid-century modern Moroccan rugs. (Le Corbusier integrated these rugs in his designs for Villa La Roche in Paris, while Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater in Pennsylvania is also home to distinctive Moroccan floor coverings.)
Moroccan rugs date back to the Paleolithic era, when Berber tribes, which comprised many different members of an ethnic group native to North Africa, would weave these textiles with intricate images and symbols. Traditionally, Moroccan tribal weavings were made exclusively by women and solely for personal use. Dense pile rugs served not only as floor coverings but as mattresses, seating and even blankets in the winter months.
The Moroccan rug hasn’t survived this long merely because of its usefulness. These stunning works take at least two to three weeks to weave, and each woman weaves the story of her life into the design. They are filled with symbolism and vary greatly depending on the locale where they were woven. In this way, part of the profound beauty of traditional Moroccan rugs lies in their historical and cultural significance.
One of the most widely loved styles of Moroccan rugs comes from the Beni Ourain tribes, a network of nearly two dozen individual tribes in the mountainous Middle Atlas region.
Vintage Beni Ourain rugs are woven from undyed, natural wool. The textures, imperfections and asymmetrical lines, which can’t be reproduced with mass production methods, as well as the neutral tones and understated geometry have endeared interior designers to these works for ages. In comparison to the spare Beni Ourain rugs, a more heavily decorated, widely colorful option can be found in Azilal Moroccan rugs, which contrast wonderfully with the rich, dark wood tones and clean lines that characterize mid-century modern furniture.
The collection of antique and vintage rugs and carpets on 1stDibs features a wide range of extraordinary Moroccan and North African rugs including Beni Ourain rugs, Azilal rugs, kilims and more.
Questions About African Area Rug
NazmiyalMarch 23, 2021That depends on what you would like to have in the room.- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024The difference between an area rug and a carpet is installation. Carpet is a soft floor covering installed on a floor with glue, nails or other fasteners. An area rug is a removable floor covering. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of area rugs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The best material for an area rug has to be wool (even though synthetic materials may be a better fit with respect to budget). Woolen rugs are resilient, long-lasting and can be a vibrant addition to any room. Find a collection of antique and vintage woolen rugs on 1stDibs today.
- What are standard area rug sizes?2 AnswersNazmiyalMarch 23, 2021Take this with a gain of salt but usually: 3x5 4x6 5x7 / 5x8 6x9 8x10 9x12 10x14 12x15 12x181stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Standard rug sizes include 3'x5′, 5'x8', 8'x10′, 9'x12′ and 12'x15′. There’s no one standard size because the ideal size for a rug should be proportionate to the space in which it’s going.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021When it comes to pile-height for area rugs, that's totally your preferences. Most area rugs don't come with a pile height of more than three-quarters of an inch. However, shag rugs or plush rugs can be quite high. It's totally up to you. The higher the pile-height, the more plush the rug typically is.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Some of the most durable rugs for high traffic areas are Wool, Nylon, Jute, and Polypropylene. Each has different benefits, including durability, ease to clean and inexpensive price.
