About the Item

Tuareg Mats: Ancestral Elegance and Handcrafted Tradition Vintage Tuareg Mats are true handcrafted masterpieces made by the nomadic peoples of the Sahara Desert, with a tradition dating back thousands of years. Originally used as flooring and furniture to protect themselves from the heat and dust of the desert, these mats were handmade by Tuaregh masters from natural materials such as palm wood and animal skin. Even today, Tuareg mats retain their cultural and craftsmanship value, bringing a touch of history and authenticity to any room whether it is a study, living room or veranda, combining tradition and modernity. Materials and Design of Tuareg Mats Tuareg mats are handmade from natural materials such as desert oasis rush, palm fiber and leather that makes them durable and easy to work with. The leather strips used to weave the reed make them rollable and easily transportable. Featuring geometric patterns, such as lozenges and crosses, and natural colors, each mat reflects Tuareg spirituality and culture.
