Berber kilim talsint rug - 202 x 121 cm

Talsint rugs also called ait bou ichaouen rugs are typical of the Berber house style. They belong to the tribes of aït hamou ousaid, aït hadou belahsen, belboul, aït saïd oulahsen, aït ali ousaid and el bour, located in the north-east of Morocco. In this region, winters are very cold and snowy and throughout the year, the climate is cold and humid, so talsint rugs are sometimes shaggy with an incredible quality of natural wool base and flat weave edge. Today, it is rare and difficult to find a vintage piece from this enchanting tribe. The weaver acquired and developed her skills and techniques with time and a lot of practice combining the intuition she had in the 70s that can never be compared from a newly made rug. Every little detail is unique and tells a story or meaning. It is very common to find the symbol of the "saw" in this kind of rug. It is a symbol of metalworkers because the Berbers believe that metal keeps away negative energy. Please note: Shipping is free but there may be customs fees to pay.
