Moroccan rugs have been a popular choice for contemporary interiors for many years. Firstly for their quality but more so for their decorative merit. They have so many different designs and styles you really can create a truly unique space just by using a Moroccan rug. Their designs are usual irregular, abstract and subtle which allows these to work in a huge number of spaces. For me the textures and patterns of these rugs makes them a great piece to build a room around or add to finish a room off. This example is a very impressive Black and white berber rug...

Vintage Berber Moroccan Boucherouite Rug with Modern Bohemian Style
Located in Dallas, TX
21607 Vintage Berber Boucherouite Moroccan Rag Rug 03'00 x 05'11. Alive with untamed vibrancy and soulful artistry, this vintage Boucherouite Moroccan rug stands as a testament to ingenuity, resilience, and cultural prestige. Hand knotted from repurposed textiles by Berber women, each precious fiber captures a fragment of history, transformed into a jubilant symphony of color. No two Boucherouite rugs are alike—each is a singular expression of freedom and imagination, making this a piece a true rarity reserved for connoisseurs of the extraordinary. Flashes of crimson, indigo, emerald, and saffron erupt across a kaleidoscopic ground, forming abstract lozenges, signature diamonds, and enigmatic motifs that carry symbolic echoes of protection, fertility, and joy. The unrestrained palette celebrates improvisation while embodying a deeper philosophy: that beauty can be born from scarcity, and luxury can emerge from sustainability. Owning such an exquisite work of art is not simply an acquisition but an embrace of cultural legacy and social good. Revered today in elite design circles, Boucherouite rugs have moved from humble origins to commanding spaces in the world’s most refined interiors. This exceptional masterpiece, with its striking intensity and tactile richness, offers not just a floor covering, but a cherished treasure—an emblem of rarity, status, and visionary taste. Uniquely woven with recycled materials, such as cotton and wool, these Boucherouite Moroccan rugs display a colorful boho...

Antique and Vintage Moroccan Rugs for Sale on 1stDibs: Find Beni Ourain Rugs, Azilal Rugs, Kilims and More

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.
