Rich pinks, deep purple and that beautiful orange border.

Meet BENI, a one-of-a-kind vintage Beni M’Guild rug, personally selected during our October 2026 sourcing trip in Marrakech.

The colours were what caught our eye first. Raspberry pink shifts into dusty rose, plum and purple, with warm orange, peach and lighter details woven into the geometric border.

Made entirely from wool, BENI has a short, compact pile and a densely knotted structure. It sits relatively flat, with the texture of the individual knots still visible across the surface.

An older piece with wonderful colour, a beautiful patina and plenty of character.

COLOURS WORTH LOOKING AT CLOSELY

BENI’s surface is full of small changes in shade.

Deeper pink and purple sit beside softer, faded tones, giving the wool a lovely depth. The orange and peach details along the border bring warmth and make the surrounding colours stand out.

The short pile allows the knotted texture and geometric details to remain visible. Depending on the light and the direction of the wool, different shades come forward.

We love it with warm wood, a simple sofa and a few cushions that pick up a colour from the rug. It has more than enough presence to bring a room together.

A VINTAGE BENI M’GUILD

Beni M’Guild rugs belong to the Amazigh weaving traditions of Morocco’s Middle Atlas.

BENI is a hand-knotted wool piece with a compact surface, rich colours and geometric patterning. Its worn texture and variations in shade are part of what drew us to it.

Personally selected through Simo in Marrakech, it is a single existing piece. The photographs show the actual rug you will receive.

CONDITION & CHARACTER

BENI has lived a life before arriving in our collection.

There is visible wear at the edges, with some loose threads and uneven, partly worn fringes. These details are shown in the photographs and form part of its vintage condition.

The wool surface has variations in pile, colour and texture, alongside the small irregularities of handmade weaving.

Please look through the detail photographs as well as the full views. We’re happy to provide additional close-ups if there is a particular area you would like to see.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Vacuum gently on a low suction setting without a rotating brush. Avoid vacuuming loose threads and fringes directly.

Blot spills promptly with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, soak or use harsh cleaning products.

For a thorough clean, use a professional cleaner experienced with vintage wool rugs. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

Rotate occasionally to distribute wear and protect from prolonged direct sunlight. A suitable rug pad is recommended on smooth floors.

One vintage piece. Beautiful wool, remarkable colours and all its own little details.
