Terracotta Border Wool Rug – Handwoven High-Pile Berber

A Terracotta Border Wool Rug Built in the Atlas Mountains Tradition This terracotta border wool rug brings a warm, graphic presence to any room — a double-row of geometric squares marches along each edge in natural plant-based dyes, framing a clean cream center. Handwoven by Amazigh (Berber) women in the Middle Atlas, this high-pile wool carpet carries the same warp-and-weft tradition that has defined North African textile craft for generations. Each rug is made to order; please allow approximately 30 days for production before shipping. What Makes This Rug Different Dimensions: Available in four sizes — Runner 3’3″ × 9’10” (1 × 3 m), Medium 4’11” × 6’7″ (1.5 × 2 m), Large 6’7″ × 9’10” (2 × 3 m), and XL 9’10” × 13’1″ (3 × 4 m) Pile height: 1.5–2 inches of thick, tactile wool underfoot — enough depth to anchor a seating arrangement Material: 100% natural wool — the terracotta squares are hand-dyed using natural plant-based dyes, while the cream ground retains the undyed fleece color Pattern: Double-row geometric square border on a cream ivory ground — a checkered Berber motif that reads as architectural framing on any floor Fringe: Hand-knotted natural fiber tassels on both short ends, a finishing detail of the handweaving process Natural variation: Colors and patterns may vary slightly between pieces — this is inherent to hand-dyed, made-to-order wool and a mark of genuine artisan craft The Weavers Behind This Rug This rug is woven by the Tiftilin weavers of the Middle Atlas — Amazigh women who have passed handweaving knowledge from mother to daughter across generations in the cedar-forested highlands south of Fès. Each rug is hand-knotted on a vertical loom using techniques that have been documented among the most enduring examples of living North African textile craft. The terracotta squares and cream ground are achieved through natural plant-based dyes, producing a palette that deepens rather than fades with time. Care & Longevity Natural wool rugs reward simple, consistent care. Vacuum weekly on the lowest suction setting without a beater bar, rotate every six months to even out wear, and spot-clean only with cold water and mild soap. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can shift hand-dyed colors over years. For full care instructions, visit our Moroccan wool rug care guide.
