Finding the Right Rugs And Carpets for You
Good antique rugs and vintage rugs have made their way into homes across the globe, becoming fixtures used for comfort, prayer and self-expression, so choosing the right area rug is officially a universal endeavor.
In modern usage, “carpet” typically denotes a wall-to-wall floor cushioning that is fixed to the floor. Rugs, on the other hand, are designed to cover a specific area and can easily be moved to new locations. However, the terms are interchangeable in many parts of the world, and, in the end, it won’t matter what you decide to call it.
It’s well known that a timeless Persian rug or vintage Turkish rug can warm any interior, but there are lots of other styles of antique rugs to choose from when you're endeavoring to introduce fresh colors and textures to a bedroom or living room.
Moroccan Berber rugs are not all about pattern. In fact, some of the most striking examples are nearly monochrome. But what these rugs lack in complexity, they make up for in brilliant color and subtle variation. Moroccan-style interiors can be mesmerizing — a sitting room of this type might feature a Moroccan rug, carved wooden screens and a tapestry hung behind the sofa.
Handwoven kilim rugs, known for their wealth of rich colors and unique weaving tradition, are pileless: Whereas the Beni Ourain rugs of Morocco can be described as dense with a thick surface or pile, an authentic kilim rug is thin and flat. (The term “kilim” is Turkish in origin, but this type of textile artistry is practiced all across the Balkans, throughout the Arab world and elsewhere.)
When it comes to eye-catching floor coverings, the distinctive “medallion” pattern of Oushak rugs has two types of rounded shapes alternating against a rich red or blue background created with natural dyes, while the elaborate “star” pattern involves large eight-pointed shapes in diagonal rows alternating with diamonds.
If you’re looking for something unexpected, find a runner rug that pops in your hallway or on your stairs. Dig for dazzling geometric patterns in our inventory of mid-century modern rugs and carpets, which includes works designed by the likes of Swedish textile masters Märta Måås-Fjetterström, Marianne Richter and other artisans.
Carpets and rugs have been around for thousands of years. Prehistoric humans turned to animal skin, wool and fur to craft simple fabrics to soften hard terrain. A 2016 study suggests that "cave lions" were hunted for exactly this purpose, and that decorating your cave with their pelts may have conferred strength and prestige. Although many of these early textiles are still in existence, tracing their precise origins is difficult. Carpets quickly became such a valuable trade commodity that the weavings could easily travel far from their places of origin.
The oldest known carpet was found in southern Siberia. (It may have traveled there from Persepolis in Iran.) For the flat-weave floor rugs crafted by Native Americans, cotton was the primary material before sheep’s wool was introduced in the 16th century. In Europe, carpet-making was fundamental to folk art, and Asian carpets imported to European countries were at one time considered a precious luxury and not intended to remain permanently on the floor.
With the variety of area rugs and carpets rolled out for you on 1stDibs — a collection that includes traditional, modern, minimalist rugs and other coverings of all kinds — things will be looking up whenever you’re looking down.
Questions About Checkered Moroccan Rug
- Why are Moroccan rugs so expensive?2 Answers
NazmiyalMarch 23, 2021They actually are pretty inexpensive when compared to other types of rugs.1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Morrocan rugs are so expensive because every part of the process from dyeing the wool with valuable dyes to hand tying each knot is labor intensive. The West’s current infatuation with Moroccan tribal rugs stretches to the mid-20th century, when designers embraced bold geometric patterns and even bolder palettes as counterpoints to form-follows-function interiors. Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier were among the designers who used these rustic, natural rugs to offset austere interiors. - How do you clean Moroccan rugs?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 2019
Moroccan rugs should be vacuumed regularly and spot cleaned with mild detergent, a little white vinegar, or water.
- What is a Moroccan rug called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Moroccan rug is sometimes called a Berber rug. The name comes from the Berber people who live throughout North Africa and are known for producing handmade floor coverings. Shop a variety of Moroccan rugs from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is a Moroccan Azilal rug?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Moroccan Azilal rug is a type of Berber rug from central Morocco. The rugs are made from sheep wool mixed with cotton, and woven together using a gridded line of knots. Shop a selection of Moroccan rugs from some of the world’s top art dealers on 1stDibs.
- What are Moroccan rugs called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 3, 2024Moroccan rugs are sometimes called Berber rugs. All authentic antique and vintage Moroccan rugs are made by Berber tribes.
You may hear a Moroccan rug being referred to as a Beni Ourain rug. Beni Ourain is a group of tribes from the Middle Atlas known for neutral rugs, which traditionally used undyed wool. The most popular tribal weaving traditions in the world of Moroccan rug-making include Azilal, Beni Mguild, Beni Ourain, Boucherouite, kilim and Tuareg mats.
Find vintage Moroccan rugs and carpets on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A Moroccan rug could cost you anywhere from $600 to $18,000; it depends on the style, its condition and much more. It is not only used for floor coverings but also created for practical purposes for use in homes and tents. Find a variety of vintage and antique Moroccan rugs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022One way to tell if a Moroccan rug is real is to wet a paper napkin and press it against the surface. An authentic Moroccan rug is colorfast, so you won't see any color transfer. Synthetic imitations will likely bleed onto the color. In addition, real rugs will have a knotted pile. On 1stDibs, shop a range of expertly vetted Moroccan rugs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 2019
The different types of Moroccan rugs are Azilal, Beni Ourain, Boucherouite, Kilim, Boujad, and Rabat.
- NazmiyalMarch 23, 2021That depends on the specific rug, it's age, size and rarity.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 2019
At 1stdibs, Moroccan rugs can cost between $200 and $220,000. Each rug has unique differences that differentiate the price such as the colors, rug type or the quality of the wool.
