This exquisite Talsint rug is a rare example of Berber craftsmanship, handwoven in the remote Aït Bou Ichaouen region of Morocco. Known for their intricate weaving techniques and symbolic patterns, Talsint rugs are highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts for their authenticity and distinctive tribal character. Made from natural wool and dyed with rich pigments, this rug captures the spirit of Moroccan heritage while offering timeless style for modern interiors.
Distinctive Tribal Motifs and Bold Colors
The design features a repeating arrangement of cross-like tribal motifs, woven in deep shades of red, green, and black against a warm ivory background. These geometric shapes are more than decorative; in Berber symbolism, such motifs often represent protection, unity, and connection to nature. The vibrant contrast of red and green provides energy and vitality, while the black elements ground the composition, making it both bold and harmonious. This combination of shapes and colors transforms the rug into a work of art that can bring depth and meaning into any living space.
Wool Texture and Artisan Quality
Handwoven from locally sourced wool, this Talsint rug feels soft underfoot yet remains exceptionally durable, reflecting the strength of traditional Berber weaving techniques. Each knot is meticulously tied by hand, giving the rug its unique texture and ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly alike. This artisan quality makes it not just a functional accessory but also a cultural artifact, carrying the story of its maker and the traditions of the Aït Bou Ichaouen tribes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean my Moroccan rug?
Caring for your Moroccan rug is simple! For regular maintenance, we recommend gently vacuuming it 1-2 times a week (use a suction-only attachment, without a beater bar) and air it outside every few months. For minor spills, act quickly by blotting the area with a clean, dry cloth. If needed, use a small amount of water and a gentle soap. For deep cleaning, we strongly recommend seeking a professional rug cleaner who specializes in wool carpets to preserve the rug's natural fibers and vibrant colors for years to come.
◈ Vacuum Regularly → Use a low setting without a beater bar to protect the fibers.
◈ Blot Spills Immediately → Use a dry cloth for stains, gently dab with mild detergent and cold water.
◈ Protect from Moisture → Avoid excessive humidity and use a rug pad to extend its lifespan.
◈ Prevent Fading → Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
◈ Rotate Every Few Months → Ensures even wear and longevity.
◈ Fluff Maintain → If fibers flatten, gently brush with a soft-bristle brush.
◈ Deep Clean → Opt for professional hand-washing every 5 years or as needed.
◈ Sunbathe Monthly → If practical, let your rug in the sun occasionally. Sunlight's UV rays work as natural deodorizing and microbe protection.
◈ Avoid Harsh Chemicals → They can damage the natural wool fibers.

Will I have to pay customs fees or import duties?

How do you package the rugs to make sure they arrive safely?
We guarantee that your rug will arrive safely and in excellent condition, having been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and, if necessary, restored prior to dispatch. We then fold it carefully and wrap it in multiple layers of durable, weather-resistant material to ensure it is fully protected from moisture and handling during its journey to you.

Please remember that our rugs are handmade by artisans, not by machines. Slight variations in color, pattern, weave, and size are natural characteristics of these one-of-a-kind items. These charming imperfections are not considered defects but are part of the unique story and beauty of each piece.
Is Moroccan wool rugs durable and suitable for high-traffic areas?
Absolutely. Hand-knotted from 100% sheep wool, Moroccan rugs are renowned for their durability and resilience. Our rugs are perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and other frequently used spaces, but be sure to follow care instructions, like rotating regularly, to keep it looking its best for years.
Do newly made wool Moroccan rugs shed?
It is completely normal for a new wool rug to shed a little at first. This is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool fibres and a sign of its authenticity. This initial shedding will decrease significantly over a few weeks with regular, gentle vacuuming.
Will the rug I receive look exactly like the one in the photo?
You will receive the exact rug shown in the photos. However, please remember that these are handmade items. We do our best to capture the colours accurately, but they may vary slightly depending on your screen's lighting and calibration. Any minor variations or "imperfections" in the pattern are part of the unique story and charm of your one-of-a-kind piece.
What are your rugs made of?
Our rugs are crafted from 100% natural, locally sourced sheep's wool. The wool's quality gives the rugs their signature softness, durability, and rich texture. The foundation (or warp) of the rug is sometimes made of cotton, which provides a strong and stable base for the wool knots.
