Marmoucha
A Marmoucha Berber rug is a traditional handmade rug originating from the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. It is named after the Marmoucha tribe who create these rugs using ancient weaving techniques passed down through generations. These rugs are known for their simple geometric patterns, often featuring double diamond shapes in dark brown on a background of natural wool. Marmoucha Berber rugs are made from high-quality wool, which gives them a thick and durable texture, making them suitable for both decorative and functional purposes.
Marmocuha is in the North East side of the Middle Atlas Mountains. It is next to the Beni Ouarain area and that is why some of their pieces have similar patterns and designs. The use of a traditional diamond network and lozenges is typical for this area in the Middle Atlas Mountains.
Handwoven rugs
This Marmoucha Berber rug is handwoven.
Typical for handmade rugs is that they do not necessarily have symmetrical designs. They have imperfections in design and this is also part of the charm of handwoven rugs and what makes every rug unique.
In this case the rug is handwoven with a geometric design in shades of brown with colourful tones of yellow beige in it.
The rug is handmade by artisan weavers. Rug making is a female activity and it forms an integral part of the Berber communities. Knowledge and skills are passed from one generation to the next , from mother to daughter. Skills are acquired by observation and practice and require self discipline.

Maintaining and caring for your rug
This Midcentury Moroccan Berber rug in is relatively low in maintenance and only requires and occasional vacuum clean.
It is best to vacuum it on a lower setting and make sure you also do the reverse now and then as just as much dust accumulates there, as on the front.
Furthermore, it is sensible to give your rug a good shake outside every couple of months.
Stain treatment
The quicker you deal with spills, the less chance there is of it staining.
The effective way to treat a spill, for example red wine, is to apply water to begin with to dilute the stain, followed by mopping it with a kitchen towel straight away.
Start from the outside of the stain and work inwards to limit the affected area, but do not rub the stain as this can damage the yarn. Once a carpet gets wet, it is important to dry it out thoroughly afterwards, to prevent the wool from rotting.
Don’t use any bleach or chemical treatments as they might take the stain out, but leave a white stain instead.
When in doubt, professional carpet cleaning will always remain the best choice. If you need advice on this, pleased get in touch.
