Description from the seller
Moroccan Berber Runner Rug — Green Checkerboard Border, Handmade Wool
At the heart of the Moroccan Atlas Mountains, Berber women have woven unique rugs for generations, passed down from mother to daughter. This runner was born from their hands, no machine, no drawn plan — every line comes directly from the weaver's memory.
A story woven into every fiber
This narrow runner features a solid green central field, framed by a checkerboard border in green and ivory wool. The checkerboard motif is a traditional symbol of fertility and good fortune, often woven into pieces meant for the home. The long, narrow format is typical of hallway and corridor rugs traditionally used in Moroccan homes.
This isn't just a rug. It's a piece of Berber craftsmanship, sized for everyday spaces.
Why this rug is unique
100% natural wool, hand-woven
No two pieces alike — irregular checkerboard spacing means guaranteed authenticity
Rich green tone, perfect for adding warmth to hallways, entryways, or narrow spaces
Traditional braided fringes
Already made and ready to ship
The imperfection that makes the difference
The checkerboard squares are never perfectly even. The shade varies slightly from one area to another. This is the signature of a genuine handmade rug — not a mass-produced industrial copy.
Where to place it
Hallway, entryway, staircase landing, kitchen — this runner brings color and texture to narrow, high-traffic spaces.
Product details
Dimensions: 70 x 250 cm (27.5 x 98.4 in)
Material: 100% natural wool, handmade
Origin: Morocco, Atlas Mountains
Care guide included — You'll receive a full guide with your rug explaining how to wash and care for it so it keeps its beauty for years to come.
Seller's Story
Our rugs come directly from Morocco. My partner lives in Khenifra, in the heart of the Middle Atlas mountains — one of the historic centres of Moroccan rug weaving — and sources every single piece himself, in person, from the Berber families who weave them there on traditional looms.
Nothing is bought in bulk or through intermediaries. Each rug is selected by hand — wool quality, density of the weave and the dyes are checked before purchase — and then described honestly, including small repairs, minor irregularities or natural signs of age, which are part of the character of a handmade piece.
Our focus is Beni Ourain, Azilal, Boujaad, Zayane and vintage Moroccan flatweaves (kilim / hanbel). For most pieces we can tell you the region of origin, the approximate age and the materials used.
All rugs are professionally cleaned before dispatch, carefully packed and shipped worldwide with tracking. Questions before bidding are always welcome — we answer quickly.
