Beni Ouarain rugs - Morocco

These are the gorgeous Beni Ouarain rugs i have been promising you. The Beni Ouarain tribe are famous for their cream and brown rugs. They are made with 100% beautifully soft and supple wool. The highest quality being supple enough to wrap round you. These fabulous rugs are getting harder and harder to find, especially the old ones. They are actually collectors pieces and have a huge following. They look fabulous in contemporary loft spaces or ancient oast houses. Conran has also copied these, using brown background and cream lines.

The photos below are a selection of antique rugs for sale at Zamzam Boutique. I have prices, sizes and most shipping costs, just drop me an email if you are interested in owning one of these beauties.

My husband loves the subtle ones where you can just see a hint of the diamonds, where as i love the bolder ones seen here. The patterns on the back are wonderful and in the summer i turn them over which is also what the Moroccans do. It's a great way to clean them!

You will see superb examples of these Beni Ouarain rugs when Zamzam Riad opens in the summer.



You find once you own one, the beauty of them consumes you and you become slightly addicted to them as i am, each one with it's own magic and personality.

This is a new Beni Ouarain rug, you can tell as it doesn't have the sheen and length of pile that the old ones have. Nonetheless it is still stunning. This one has been sold but i can source similar. It is smaller too which is unusual measuring just 2 meters by 3.

These rugs are numbered and catalogued when they are bought. They all have a unique number. The new rug shown here actually has the date and name of the maker woven in. You can see it at the bottom.
