The World of Berber Rugs

Posted by S R on

Timeless and an asset to any interior

Berber carpets are a beautiful and timeless addition to any interior, known for their stunning patterns and natural materials. At kelim.nl, you will find authentic Berber rugs made from 100% natural wool, guaranteeing quality and durability. View our complete collection of hand-woven carpets.

Berber origin and types

These rugs originate from North Africa, particularly Morocco. The name 'Berber' refers to the Berber tribes who have been hand-weaving these rugs for centuries.

There are different types of Berber rugs, each with unique characteristics, such as:

  • Beni Ourain rugs: These rugs, often recognized by their off-white background with black lines, come from the Atlas Mountains. They are known for their thick, plush texture.
  • Kilim Berber rugs: These are thinner because they are flat-woven without pile. They are versatile and can serve as both a floor rug and a wall hanging.

Each type of Berber rug tells a story through its design, colors, and weaving techniques, reflecting the rich culture and history of the Berber tribes. By choosing an authentic Berber rug, you are investing in a piece of timeless craftsmanship.

At Hamming van Seventer, we have Berber rugs in 12 natural colors. These can be ordered in various sizes and qualities — even made to measure, up to 6 x 20 meters. Want to know more? Contact us for your Berber rug of choice.

Care and cleaning of Berber rugs

Maintaining a Berber rug is essential for preserving its lifespan. Follow these tips to keep your rug in top condition:

  • Regular vacuuming: Gently vacuuming helps remove dirt and dust.
  • Stain removal: Treat stains immediately with cold water and a clean cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
  • Professional cleaning: Consider professional cleaning from time to time, especially for deep cleaning. At kelim.nl, you can have your rug cleaned.
  • Rotating: Rotate your rug regularly to ensure even wear.

Berber rugs are a timeless addition to any home. Their history and natural feel bring warmth and character. By choosing an authentic Berber rug from kelim.nl, you bring a piece of tradition and craftsmanship into your home. With proper care, these rugs will retain their beauty for years.
