Moroccan Rugs Gallery
The shaggy pile and bold designs characterize the rugs of Morocco. All the rugs are woven by the Berber people of the Atlas Mountains. The bright orange and yellow background rugs are known as High Atlas Mountain rugs. The rugs with natural wool background, usually ivory, are called Beni Ourain, after one of the mountain peoples who weave this type of textile. Although distinctly traditional, these designs can fit wonderfully in modern decors.
We include in this gallery, rugs based on Moroccan designs, but woven elsewhere.
