This is a green and black checkered Beni Ourain runner rug, hand-knotted in our workshop in Morocco. Deep emerald green and rich black alternate in an even grid of rounded squares across the full length of the piece, the two tones close in depth but distinct enough to give the pattern real rhythm and energy. The high pile is dense and textured, the checkerboard bold and immediate, the kind of runner that transforms a hallway the moment it is laid down.
The checkerboard draws from the patchwork of cultivated fields and sun-baked earth of the Moroccan countryside, land divided and tended by Berber communities across generations. Here the pattern is rendered in two deep, saturated tones that push against each other with energy, the emerald green drawn from the cedar forests and olive groves of the Atlas Mountains, the deep black grounding the composition with weight and confidence. The variation in pile height between squares gives the surface a tactile quality that photographs can only hint at, every row a decision made by hand. White and green fringe finishes both ends.
Why you'll love it:
- Authentic Beni Ourain runner, hand-knotted by Berber artisans in Morocco
- High pile, 100% natural wool, no synthetics, no machine finishing
- Deep emerald green and black checkered pattern running the full length
- Custom sizes available, woven to order in 3 to 5 weeks.
- Ships worldwide in 4 to 7 business days.
- DDP shipping included (no extra customs fees, duty-free delivery).
Made entirely by hand on a traditional loom. No machines, no shortcuts. Every knot tied by a skilled artisan, every row built one thread at a time. Natural wool softens with use, becoming more itself the longer it is lived with.
A bold, confident choice for a hallway, entryway, or alongside a bed. The emerald and black palette works beautifully against light floors and white walls.
Slight color variation is natural in hand-dyed wool. Questions are always welcome.
