Vintage Tan and Brown Wool Talsint
Talsint rugs are a unique type of Moroccan handmade wool rug, known for their bold, geometric patterns and vibrant colors. These rugs are made in the Talsint region of mid-western Morocco by semi-nomadic shepherded families, and are renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship and durability. Unlike other Moroccan rugs, Talsint rugs are made with a specific type of wool that is known for its soft texture and ability to withstand heavy foot traffic. These rugs are usually long and narrow, yet light and easy to carry when tents are being folded down during moves. As the nomads have started to settle, their moves are less frequent and they have started creating smaller rugs. Most of what comes from the Talsint region are smaller rugs, yet they are very artistic and often decorated with upcycled materials. Perfect for adding a touch of Moroccan flair to any space, Talsint rugs are easy to clean and suitable for both traditional and modern home decor styles.
Moroccan Rugs can be vacuumed, preferably with a vacuum that has no beater bar, but if so just raise it to the highest setting to cause the least friction possible to the wool. Vacuum from side to side, and don’t forget to flip it over every once in a while and vacuum the back as well. If the weave is too long for your vacuum, shake your rug outside or hang it + hit it with a broom handle if you can to remove the dust.
