White Beni Ourain Wool Rug – Handwoven Berber Diamond

A White Beni Ourain Rug Woven in the Middle Atlas Tradition

This white Beni Ourain rug brings together everything that has made this Atlas Mountain weaving tradition a cornerstone of interior design for decades: a creamy ivory ground of 100% natural undyed wool, a high-pile surface of 1.5–2 inches, and the bold charcoal diamond-lozenge geometric pattern that reads as graphic as any modern print while remaining entirely hand-knotted. Available in three sizes — 3′ x 5′ (0.9 x 1.5 m), 3′ x 6′ (0.9 x 1.8 m), and 6′7″ x 9′10″ (2 x 3 m) — it works from a bedside accent to a living room anchor.

Essential Details

• Material: 100% natural undyed wool — the ivory base and charcoal pattern come from the sheep’s natural fleece, not from dyes
• Pile height: 1.5–2 inches — soft and insulating underfoot, with enough depth to ground a seating arrangement
• Pattern: Traditional diamond lozenge motifs with crossed diagonal lines — a protective symbol in Amazigh (Berber) textile culture
• Backing: Bare weave (no backing) — the hand-knotted structure is visible and breathable from below
• Fringe: Knotted wool tassels on both short ends, a natural finish of the hand-knotting process
• Natural variation: Slight shade differences between batches are inherent to undyed natural wool — each rug is one of a kind

The Weavers Behind This Rug

This rug is woven by the Tiftilin weavers of the Middle Atlas — Amazigh women who have passed this craft from mother to daughter across generations in the cedar-forested highlands south of Fès. Beni Ourain rugs hand-knotted by Amazigh weavers of the Middle Atlas are among the most widely cited examples of living North African textile craft. Every piece is made to order — please allow approximately 30 days for production before your rug ships.

Care & Longevity

Natural wool rugs reward simple, consistent care. Vacuum weekly on the lowest suction setting (no beater bar), rotate every six months to even wear, and spot-clean with cold water and mild soap only.

Questions About This Rug

Is this white Beni Ourain rug made with dyed wool?

No — the ivory and charcoal tones come entirely from the sheep’s natural fleece. Authentic Beni Ourain rugs from the Central Atlas are woven using undyed raw wool: the warm off-white is natural light fleece, the dark diamond markings are natural dark fleece. This means no dye chemicals and no colour fade over time. Slight shade variation between batches is expected and is the hallmark of genuinely undyed wool.
