Checkered Border Beni Ourain Rug
The centre is left plain, a deep ivory pile with nothing to interrupt it, and a band of small brown checks runs all the way around the edge. The border defines the rug like a frame, so the plain field looks intentional rather than empty.
Where it works
A clever choice under a bed or a coffee table: the plain centre takes the furniture and the border stays visible around it. It suits classic and contemporary rooms alike and is easy to pair with patterned upholstery.
The details
- Pattern: Plain field with checkered border
- Colours: Ivory, natural brown
- Material: hand-spun Atlas wool, undyed or coloured with natural dyes
- Made by: Berber women weavers from one of our two partner cooperatives in the Middle Atlas
- Construction: hand-knotted pile on a vertical loom, finished with fringes
Woven to order
This checkered border Beni Ourain rug does not exist until you order it. Weaving takes 2–4 weeks, then the rug spends 10–15 days in transit to your door with tracking. Because every rug is knotted by hand, line widths, square sizes and wool tones vary slightly from the image: the picture shows the design, your rug will be its own version of it.
Shipping and returns
Shipping is free on orders over $350. Below that: $60 to the UK and EU, $80 to the US, $150 elsewhere. US customers pay any import duty on delivery. You can return a standard-size rug within 21 days of delivery; return shipping is paid by you. Custom-sized rugs are made for one room and cannot be returned.
