This is a mid-century, one of a kind rug. Our Talsint rug is rare, made with un-dyed natural wool utilizing an abstract motif of a tent which is a nomadic symbol of living. Pops of red, blue and green yarn is woven throughout the rug and is used to create a beautiful detail on the border. The rug is reversible with a plush pile wool on one side and a flat woven surface on the opposite side.

It is hand-woven from pure organic wool by the women of the Aït Bou Ichaouen Tribe from the Figuig Province – an isolated area unknown to the carpet world until the late 1990s. The rug was created using traditional Berber knots with strong hits of color and bold designs. The Aït Bou Ichaouen Tribe’s weaving style, their specific way of using color and striking patterns, is unlike any of the other Berber Moroccan rugs.

In the Berber tradition, the color blue represents wisdom; green symbolizes peace; red represents strength; and yellow symbolizes eternity.

Please note this is a vintage Moroccan rug that has had a long, storied life. Expect signs of wear, repairs or fading. A bit of shedding is normal. The beauty is in its imperfections.

Description

Mid-Century Talsint Moroccan rugs were woven by the Aït Bou Ichaouen Tribe from the Figuig Province – an isolated area unknown to the carpet world until the late 1990s. These rugs were made by tribal women using traditional Berber knots with strong hits of color and bold designs. The specific way the Aït Bou Ichaouen Tribe weave their rugs using strong color and striking patterns, is unlike any of the other Berber Moroccan rugs.

Due to the harsh climate of the region, the rugs were woven with a long heavy pile and used as warm bedding, sleeping mats, and floor covering. These one-of-a-kind handmade, rugs were often handwoven to be reversible with a thicker pile on one side and flat surface on the opposite side.

Weaving rugs is one of the oldest Moroccan traditions and it is truly an art form. Each rug tells a unique story told by the weaver using specific symbols or colors. The techniques and symbols used by the weaver were passed down generation to generation. While the rugs were used to protect the body from the elements they were also meant to protect the spirit from negative energy.

 

CARE

 

Shake or beat your vintage Moroccan Talsint rug outside weekly and once a year leave it drink in the sun for a day. Vacuum using the hand attachment to prevent damage to the knots and wool fibers. Flip the rug and vacuum the opposite side every other month. Professionally wash it every few years but avoid dry cleaning or steaming.
