Journey into Heritage: Authentic Antique Moroccan Berber Rug
Discover the soulful artistry of this exceptional handmade antique Moroccan Berber rug, a captivating piece woven by the nomadic tribes of Morocco in the 1910s. Celebrated for their raw beauty and symbolic patterns, Berber rugs represent the weavers’ surroundings, beliefs, and daily life. This particular rug is a genuine expression of folk art and cultural memory.
Crafted entirely from 100% hand-spun wool, the rug remains in good condition. It has undergone expert restoration in one area, preserving its aesthetic and structural integrity. The restoration, completed by skilled artisans, is included in the final price—ensuring the rug’s readiness for many more decades of enjoyment.
Warm Hues and Whimsical Camel Motifs
The rug features a dominant terracotta orange field, radiating warmth and authenticity. Across this lively base, charming stylized camel figures appear in shades of blue and white. Additional tribal markings and geometric patterns are rendered in blue, yellow, and black, forming a playful and narrative composition.
A wide, deep blue border wraps the central area, decorated with bold angular motifs and yellow accents. This framing element enhances the contrast and structure of the design. The irregular, hand-knotted wool texture adds rustic charm and a distinctly artisanal character.
Meticulously Restored for Enduring Beauty
Despite its century-old age, this rug is structurally sound and visually captivating. One area of wear was professionally restored to stabilize and preserve the piece without compromising its authenticity. The wool remains supple and strong, and the vibrant colors have been retained through careful cleaning and conservation.

This antique Berber rug is not just a decorative textile—it is a living piece of Moroccan heritage. Its size and vibrant patterns make it a striking focal point for a living room, bedroom, reading nook, or even a spacious entryway.
