Tapis Artisanal Elegance and Authenticity to Enhance Your Interior
Handmade rugs are much more than just decorative accessories: they are the fruit of ancestral know-how and authentic art. If you're looking for a unique, handmade Berber-style Moroccan rug, you've come to the right place. In this article, we'll guide you through the world of handmade rugs, their characteristics, and how to choose the ideal model for your home.
1. What is a handmade carpet?
An artisanal rug is one that is woven, knotted or braided by hand, often by passionate craftsmen who pass on their skills from generation to generation. Unlike industrial carpets, each piece is unique and has its own story to tell.
Handmade carpets can be made from a variety of materials such as :
- Wool: the star material of Berber rugs, soft and durable.
- Cotton: often used for a light, natural look.
- Jute: perfect for a bohemian, eco-responsible look.
2. Why choose a handmade Moroccan rug?
✨ A unique, authentic design
Each Berber rug is a work of art: geometric patterns, natural colors and traditional symbols tell a rich cultural story.
🏡 A warm addition to your interior
With their soft textures and refined patterns, Moroccan rugs are perfect for bohemian, minimalist or modern decor.
💎 Outstanding quality
Hand-woven with noble materials, these rugs are designed to last for decades without losing their shine or comfort.
3. The different types of Moroccan handmade rugs
