This magnificent pile rug is a grand example of Marmoucha weaving, a distinguished style within the Beni Ouarain tradition of the Middle Atlas mountains. Known for their intricate geometry and “infinite” lattice patterns, Marmoucha rugs offer a more complex visual narrative than their minimalist counterparts. This large-scale piece features a warm, sandy beige field adorned with a dense, edge-to-edge network of diamond lozenges.

The lattice is sketched in dark charcoal or coffee-brown wool, creating a strong contrast against the natural background. Unlike simple open diamonds, these geometric figures are filled with smaller, nested tribal motifs and symbols, adding layers of depth and protection to the design. Uniquely, the rug is framed by a defined border featuring a repeating geometric frieze, providing a structured finish that creates a “room within a room” effect.

Hand-knotted from 100% natural wool, this rug is expansive in size, measuring 3.40 meters in length, yet it remains relatively lightweight (11 kg) for its surface area. This suggests a flexible, blanket-like handle that makes it easy to position while still providing a layer of warmth. Its impressive scale and heritage-rich design make it an ideal foundation for a grand living room, a dining area, or a master bedroom seeking a touch of timeless tribal elegance.
