Irregular Checkered Beni Ourain Rug
Here the weaver lets the grid move. Squares vary slightly in size and their edges wave, the way a pattern does when it is counted knot by knot rather than traced. It is the most relaxed, most handmade-looking checkered design we offer.
Where it works
Perfect for bohemian and eclectic interiors, children’s rooms and anywhere a perfect grid would feel too strict. It sits happily with vintage furniture, plants and mixed textiles.
The details
- Pattern: Irregular hand-drawn checkerboard
- Colours: Natural brown, ivory
- 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 irregular checkered 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.
