This exquisite pile rug is a prime example of the Beni Mrirt style, representing the pinnacle of contemporary High Atlas weaving. Renowned for their incredible density and velvety finish, Mrirt rugs are often considered the “haute couture” of Moroccan carpets. This piece features a sophisticated, monochromatic palette in a deep, moody shade of steel blue or oxidized slate grey.

The beauty of this rug lies in its texture and the natural variations of the wool. Devoid of geometric patterns, the solid color field is brought to life by subtle “abrash”—horizontal bands of varying saturation that occur naturally during the dyeing process. This creates a shimmering, water-like depth that changes depending on the light and the angle of the pile.

Hand-knotted from premium 100% natural wool, this rug is exceptionally heavy for its compact size, weighing 8 kg for just over 2 square meters. This high weight-to-area ratio indicates a tightly packed, double-knotted structure that offers superior durability and a sumptuous feel underfoot. Measuring approximately 1.62 x 1.28 meters, it is a versatile accent piece, perfect for adding a touch of modern luxury to a bedside, a reading nook, or a refined entryway
