The diamond geometry of Berber rugs evolved as a household language, not a decorative one. The motifs marked passage and protection, and the rugs lived as sleeping mats and dowry pieces in the high villages of the Atlas Mountains long before they entered the design vocabulary of Le Corbusier and the Bauhaus. Removed from that context and recoloured for a different room, the discipline survives. This ivory rug carries the lattice forward in soft hand-tufted wool that reads warm under the foot.
This rug was hand-tufted in India over 4 weeks by a team of two tufters and a finisher. The pattern was drawn onto stretched canvas, the yarn was driven through with a hand-held tufting gun row by row, and the back was sealed with natural latex and a cotton scrim that locks every loop in place. The last pass was done by hand with long shears, cutting the pile to even depth and bringing the moroccan drawing into relief. The pile is New Zealand wool, picked for its long staple, even crimp, and clean colour, which keeps the pattern crisp once the carving pass relieves one tone above another.
The composition
A ivory ground holds the moroccan composition with no competing borders or guard bands. The eye moves across the field rather than landing on a single feature. The yarn was over-dyed in two baths rather than dipped once, which is why the colour carries a faint tonal shift across the surface rather than a flat mill evenness.
The piece in a room
size as listed settles a study, a dining footprint, or a guest bedroom. The ivory pile reads quiet under daylight and warmer under lamps. Pairs with both pale and stained timber.
Care
Vacuum weekly with the beater bar disengaged. Every tufted rug loses a little fibre to a beater bar regardless of price. Blot spills with a clean cotton cloth, never rub. Light shedding for the first six weeks is normal as loose fibres work out of the pile. Professional dry clean every two to three years.

Day-to-day care
- Vacuum gently once a week without a rotating brush bar — use the suction-only setting on hand-knotted or hand-tufted pieces.
- Rotate the rug 180° every 3-6 months so foot traffic and sunlight wear is even.
- Use a quality rug pad underneath for slip resistance and to extend life.
- Blot fresh spills immediately with a clean white cloth — do not rub. Work from the edge of the spill inward.
Deep cleaning
- Professional dry-cleaning is recommended every 12-24 months for hand-knotted carpets.
- Avoid steam cleaners and hot water on natural-fibre rugs (wool, silk, jute) — they can cause shrinkage and dye bleeding.
- For washable flat-weaves and cotton dhurries, machine-wash on a gentle cold cycle in a mesh bag.
Storage
- Roll (do not fold) the carpet around a clean cardboard tube, pile-side in.
- Wrap in breathable cotton sheeting (not plastic) and store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space.
- Use moth-protection sachets if storing wool for more than a season.

Frequently asked
How long will shipping take?
Most metros (Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata) receive their order in 3-5 business days. Tier-2 cities take 5-7 business days, and remote pin codes (J&K, North-East, Andamans) take 7-10 business days. Use the pin-code checker above for a concrete delivery date.
Will the colour exactly match the photo?
Each carpet is hand-crafted with natural-dye yarns, so a small variation in shade, pattern density, and tone is expected and is part of the authenticity of a handmade piece. Colours on screen also vary by monitor and lighting. If you are matching a specific decor, request a yarn sample before ordering.
Can I get a sample before buying?
Yes — we send 2-3 small yarn / pile samples for ₹500 (refundable against your purchase). Message us on WhatsApp with the SKU and your shipping pin code to arrange a sample.

Email care@rugsville.in or message us on WhatsApp with your order number — we arrange free reverse pickup in most pin codes. Refunds are processed within 3-5 working days of receipt at our warehouse.
Do you take custom orders?
Yes. Custom-size, custom-colour, and custom-design hand-knotted carpets typically take 4-8 weeks depending on size and complexity. Minimum custom-order size is 4'×6'. Send us your brief on WhatsApp with the room photo and dimensions for a quote.
