Ushib
THIS RUG'S STORY:
I named this small vintage Talsint runner Ushib, meaning "frosty" in Arabic. It has a warm cream base, with a frosty gray pattern and pink tassels. It's pattern is composed of intersecting lines, and is interesting but not too busy. Even though he is slightly uneven, the luxe, soft wool makes up for it! I hand-selected this guy during the Spring 2019 sourcing trip. It would be a great accent in a hallway, kitchen, or bath!
ABOUT MOROCCAN RUGS:
Each vintage Moroccan rug is hand woven and knotted by Berber women of the tribal region specified. This level of craftsmanship can take up to weeks or months to complete a single rug. Weaving techniques have been passed down through the generations. The patterns, designs, and colors in each rug vary with each rug, weaver, and tribe – so each piece is truly a unique work of art and 2 pieces will never be the same. Often these rugs have been handed down through the families who created them, and have been uncovered from the mountain and rural areas of Morocco.
COLORS/MATERIALS: creamy base with gray pattern and light pink fringe. Hand knotted wool.
