Handwoven Berber rugs
This Midcentury olive grey Berber rug is handwoven by Berber women. Rug making is a female activity and it forms an integral part of the Berber communities. They use a complex knotting technique that has been passed down from generation to generation, from mother to daughter. Skills are acquired by observation and practice and require self-discipline.
Each rug is a labor of love, taking several weeks or even months to complete, depending on the size and intricacy of the design.
Size and shape
This Midcentury Beni Ouarain rug has a large size of 200cm wide and 300cm long.
If you are in doubt about what size you ideally need, please find here some guidelines to help you make the right decision.
Underlay : When do I need underlay?
I recommended using underlay if your rug is fairly lightweight, like a kilim or a thin short-pile rug, that is placed on a hard surface like wood, laminate or tiles.
In such cases your rug may slide, which can cause a safety hazard. Underlay would prevent this and will keep your rug in place.
Underlay also provides extra cushioning which makes the rug more comfortable to walk on. What’s more, it offers noise-reduction properties and may even increase the longevity of your rug.

Maintaining and caring for your rug
This Moroccan olive grey Berber rug is relatively low 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.
