Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Moroccan Hanbel rug?
A Moroccan Hanbel rug is a lightweight, flatwoven rug traditionally recognised for its geometric patterns and varied colours. Unlike thick, high-pile rugs, it has a flatter surface that is easy to place in different rooms.
What is the difference between a Hanbel rug and a thick Moroccan rug?
Hanbel rugs use a flatweave construction, while rugs such as Beni Ourain and Beni Mrirt generally have a thicker pile. Hanbel rugs are lighter and easier to move, making them practical for layering or seasonal decorating.
Where can I use a Moroccan Hanbel rug?
A Moroccan Hanbel rug can work in a living room, bedroom, hallway, office or dining area. Use a suitable rug pad underneath to reduce movement and provide additional protection.
How should I clean a handmade Hanbel rug?
Vacuum it gently without a rotating brush and blot spills promptly with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and soaking. Since materials may vary, always check the product’s care information or use a professional rug cleaner.
