Question 1

What are Beni Ourain rugs?

Accepted Answer

Beni Ourain rugs are hand-woven wool rugs made by Berber women of the Beni Ourain tribes in Morocco's Middle Atlas Mountains. They are known for their thick ivory pile, geometric patterns, and symbolic motifs passed down through generations.

Question 2

Are House of Berber rugs authentic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every rug comes with a certificate of origin confirming it is authentically hand-woven by Berber artisans in Morocco — no factories, no mass production.

Question 3

What wool is used in your rugs?

Accepted Answer

Our rugs are made with 100% natural, organic wool sourced from sheep in the Atlas Mountains. The wool is unbleached, which gives classic Beni Ourain rugs their natural ivory tone.

Question 4

What is the difference between Modern and Classic Beni Ourain rugs?

Accepted Answer

Classic rugs feature traditional ivory wool with symbolic Berber diamond motifs. Modern rugs incorporate bold geometric patterns and contrasting colors — the same handmade craft with a contemporary aesthetic.
