How do I choose the right size and shape?

Size it to the furniture, not the floor: at least 18 in shows beyond the sides and foot of a bed, and under a dining table it runs 24 in (60 cm) past the edge. Tifinagh comes in three shapes, Classic, Round and Runner, in a standard size or a custom size priced as you type. The size guide has plans room by room.

Will I hear from you while it's made?

We write at every stage: the order confirmation, the day knotting begins, the day your rug is finished, and tracking when it ships.

Does Tifinagh say anything in its script?

No. The marks echo script rather than spell words, a nod to the Amazigh alphabet the design is named for.

Is Tifinagh hand-knotted or tufted?

Hand-knotted, row by row, in 100% natural wool; nothing is tufted or glued to a backing.

Where does Tifinagh work best?

This rug is at its best in a kids room, where its color gives play a lift. Short or medium pile keeps blocks and toy cars upright. It also suits a living room and a dining room.

Will the small marks blur if I choose a deeper pile?

The marks and their frame are clearest in short 0.4 in (1 cm) pile, which keeps the feel of script. Medium 0.8 in (2 cm) softens each mark a little but the panel stays legible. Shag 1.2 in (3 cm) turns the marks into soft flecks, so the shifting ground leads.

How do I care for Tifinagh, and will it shed?

Vacuum with suction only, no beater bar, and blot spills at once with cool water from the edge inward; never rub. New wool sheds loose fiber for its first weeks, then settles. Turn the rug now and then so sun and wear spread evenly. The care guide covers stains.

Can I get Tifinagh to match my room's colors?

Try shades from our 30 wool colors until the AI preview fits your room, then approve it: that preview is what the weavers make. The price is 10% above the size's price, and production runs one extra week.

About this rug

A salt plain at dusk, scrub bushes scattered like marks. Tifinagh is the Amazigh alphabet, and this medallion Boujaad rug speaks it quietly, small signs on soft ground. Weavers once knotted signs like these unaided. Zarbish knots it today.

The framed panel is the only hard edge on the rug: a single dark line, straight on all four sides, holding a lighter ground. Around it the field is left open, and the small symbols in the corners are built from a few knots each.
