The name "Amlou" draws inspiration from the beloved Moroccan spread made of almonds, honey, and argan oil. Like its namesake, this rug reflects the warmth and richness of Moroccan culture.
This rug is part of our Heritage Collection, a carefully curated selection that celebrates the rich tradition of Berber weaving—a centuries-old art form that is now on the decline. Each piece is picked in collaboration with our partner rug authenticators for its exceptional craftsmanship, characterized by its distinctive weaving and knotting techniques, as well as the superior quality of its wool and the natural, plant-based dyes used in its creation.
Colors & Design: This rug features a minimalist, abstract design, characteristic of Moroccan Berber artistry in the Middle Atlas region. The deliberate irregularity and handwoven texture highlight the artisanal quality, making this rug a perfect fit for interiors embracing warm minimalism or biophilic design.
Pile:
This rug showcases a medium-to-high pile, with the original high-pile naturally settling into a medium pile over time. This graceful compression gives the rug a flatter profile, making it more practical for high-traffic areas while retaining its luxurious appeal. Rugs that age in this way, maintaining excellent quality, are highly coveted for their sophisticated and refined appearance.
Estimated Age and Condition:
This rug has matured beautifully over more than a decade, with its age gracefully reflected in the compression of the wool pile and age-related fading of the plant-based dyes.
