Finding the Right Moroccan And North African 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 Moroccan Kilim Rugs

- What is a kilim rug?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A kilim rug is a tapestry-woven rug known for its brilliantly colored, geometric patterns. This type of rug is traditionally made in parts of the Middle East. It can be purely decorative or even function as a prayer rug.
- What makes a rug a Kilim?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Kilim rugs are identified by their flat weaving technique using two sets of wool ropes. The rugs also have no pile because of this hand-woven technique. You’ll find a variety of Kilim rugs from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is a Turkish kilim rug?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A Turkish kilim rug is a pileless, tapestry-woven rug that can be used for decorative purposes or as a prayer rug. They are produced by interweaving the warp and weft strands of the weave and typically feature geometrically ornate designs.

- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024The difference between a rug and a kilim is the specificity of the terms. A rug is any soft floor covering. Artisans produce rugs using a wide range of techniques, and rugs may have a flat surface or a raised pile. A kilim is a handmade rug that features a flat weave and is usually made of natural fibers such as wool, silk and cotton. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of rugs.
- Why are Moroccan rugs so expensive?2 Answers
NazmiyalMarch 23, 2021They actually are pretty inexpensive when compared to other types of rugs.1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Morrocan rugs are so expensive because every part of the process from dyeing the wool with valuable dyes to hand tying each knot is labor intensive. The West’s current infatuation with Moroccan tribal rugs stretches to the mid-20th century, when designers embraced bold geometric patterns and even bolder palettes as counterpoints to form-follows-function interiors. Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier were among the designers who used these rustic, natural rugs to offset austere interiors. - What are Moroccan rugs called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 3, 2024Moroccan rugs are sometimes called Berber rugs. All authentic antique and vintage Moroccan rugs are made by Berber tribes.
You may hear a Moroccan rug being referred to as a Beni Ourain rug. Beni Ourain is a group of tribes from the Middle Atlas known for neutral rugs, which traditionally used undyed wool. The most popular tribal weaving traditions in the world of Moroccan rug-making include Azilal, Beni Mguild, Beni Ourain, Boucherouite, kilim and Tuareg mats.
Find vintage Moroccan rugs and carpets on 1stDibs. - What is a Moroccan Azilal rug?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Moroccan Azilal rug is a type of Berber rug from central Morocco. The rugs are made from sheep wool mixed with cotton, and woven together using a gridded line of knots. Shop a selection of Moroccan rugs from some of the world’s top art dealers on 1stDibs.
- How do you clean Moroccan rugs?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 2019
Moroccan rugs should be vacuumed regularly and spot cleaned with mild detergent, a little white vinegar, or water.
- NazmiyalMarch 23, 2021Generally speaking, Dhurrie rugs are cotton flat weaves from India while Kilims are flat woven wool rugs from different location around the world.1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021The difference between Kilim and Dhurrie rugs is the location of creation. Kilim is a name for a flat-woven rug created in Persia. Dhurrie, on the other hand, is a name for a flat-woven rug made in India. Shop Kilim and Dhurrie rugs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024To tell if a kilim rug is real, look for labeling that indicates the fibers. True kilim rugs tend to be crafted by hand out of natural fibers such as wool, silk and cotton. Rugs that contain synthetic fibers like polyester or polyethylene or that have "machine-made" or similar verbiage on their labels are likely not kilims. Next, consider the pattern. The weaving technique used to make kilim rugs usually results in linear geometric patterns. Curving forms or irregular or scattered patterns are unlikely to appear on authentic pieces. If you're still not sure about the authenticity of your floor covering, ask a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer for a professional opinion. Shop a selection of kilim rugs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A Moroccan rug could cost you anywhere from $600 to $18,000; it depends on the style, its condition and much more. It is not only used for floor coverings but also created for practical purposes for use in homes and tents. Find a variety of vintage and antique Moroccan rugs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022One way to tell if a Moroccan rug is real is to wet a paper napkin and press it against the surface. An authentic Moroccan rug is colorfast, so you won't see any color transfer. Synthetic imitations will likely bleed onto the color. In addition, real rugs will have a knotted pile. On 1stDibs, shop a range of expertly vetted Moroccan rugs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 2019
The different types of Moroccan rugs are Azilal, Beni Ourain, Boucherouite, Kilim, Boujad, and Rabat.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 2019
At 1stdibs, Moroccan rugs can cost between $200 and $220,000. Each rug has unique differences that differentiate the price such as the colors, rug type or the quality of the wool.
- NazmiyalMarch 23, 2021That depends on the specific rug, it's age, size and rarity.
