As with any painting or poem, their motifs have many subjective interpretations. Originally made for personal use, these rugs took months to weave, documenting a shifting tide of events and emotions in the weaver’s life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisanal and tribal, geometric designs feature angular edges and simple shapes—like diamonds, squares, lattices, and stylized animals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA checkerboard field is playful, geometric, and said to be symbolic of higher realms, worlds beyond, fertility, and the divine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion of Origin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeni M'rirt descendants live in the town of Aguelmouss, not far from Beni Ourain territory, whose influence is visible in their rugs. Originally intended for use on the floor, Beni M'rirt pieces often feature meandering geometric designs and use a tight double knot construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial Details\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eWool, a staple in Moroccan rug design, was considered almost sacred to the Amazigh (Berber) people, whose nomadic lifestyle included sheep and goat herding. In addition to being available, wool is durable, long-lasting, and soft—so it’s super comfy to walk and relax on. In this piece, the wool pile is knotted onto a wool foundation, adding body and helping it hug the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoroccan wool is locally sourced and produces a thick, strong pile that feels soft and fluffy underfoot. A small amount of shedding is to be expected from this natural fiber, but it’s worth it: its high pile is beloved for its wild, tousled texture. You may find traces of dried hay, grass, or straw in your rug as grazing sheep often collect plant matter in their coats. Remove gently by hand or with tweezers. Please note that when wool gets damp, it will smell like a wet sheep. This is the scent of lanolin, which acts as a waxy barrier against dirt and moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Rug Care --\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe recommend that you regularly vacuum your rug to remove dirt and grime. Depending on how heavily your rug is used, just once or twice a month is adequate. Too much vacuuming can wear down the knots and fibers more quickly. If you have a suction attachment on your vacuum cleaner, use that instead of a rotary vacuum. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery few months, you’ll also want to flip your rug over and vacuum the back to get the grit out of the foundation of the rug. It also helps to rotate your rug once a year to ensure even wear over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery 3-5 years, we recommend getting your rug professionally hand-washed. Please do not take it to get steam or dry cleaned—this will almost certainly damage the rug! Hand-washing requires the use of a pH-balanced shampoo, worked into the rug by hand with a soft-bristled brush, before being rinsed thoroughly. This process should be repeated a few times.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn case of spills:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf the spill is organic and non-oily (e.g., wine), use a paper towel or cloth to blot the liquid. Add some clean water sparingly to the spot to dilute the stain (or wet a paper towel or cloth) and blot. Repeat this process until the stain is removed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf the stain is persistent, resist the urge to scrub. Scrubbing can damage the wool fibers and more easily allow the stain to penetrate. You may try using a mild detergent, such as very diluted dishwashing soap, following the same blot-and-rinse procedure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf the spill is a denser, more oily liquid, try first to scoop what you can from the surface using a spoon or perhaps some heavier paper, and then do the blot-and-rinse. If the spill is significant, non-organic and\/or composed of chemical substances, or the above methods don’t work, we suggest getting the rug professionally hand-washed as soon as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor rugs with deeply saturated color palettes, be sure to spot-clean them in an area that can be hosed down immediately after, as some color bleeding may occur.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Revival-OOAK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44036315185251,"sku":"CLHDR063MC04000033","price":1418.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1718\/8557\/files\/CLHDR063MC04000033_CLHD0033_1ove-moroccan-rug-milea_23192130-395c-4915-b163-8f72abd81a9c.jpg?v=1772538923","url":"https:\/\/www.checkout.revivalrugs.com\/products\/moroccan-rug-milea","provider":"Revival Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
