Vintage Turkish Tulu Rug 8' x 6'

SIZE: 8 X 6 FT.

ORIGIN: TURKEY

CIRCA: 1950s

MATERIAL: PURE WOOL

This vintage Turkish Tulu rug is a bold and tactile example of Anatolian folk art, woven entirely from soft, handspun wool. Its standout feature is the dramatic, long-pile texture, giving it a plush, shaggy appearance that was traditionally favoured for comfort and warmth in colder highland regions.

The design is abstract and modernist in its visual language, composed of concentric rectangles that pulse outward from the centre. Each band of colour ranging from deep plum and earthy olive to fiery red, mustard yellow, and magenta creates a vibrant rhythm that feels both spontaneous and intentional. The colour transitions are expressive, enhanced by the playful tufts that fringe the borders, adding movement and energy.

Crafted using the traditional "Tulu" technique, this rug reflects a nomadic aesthetic with a strong artistic identity. Its asymmetries and handwoven irregularities contribute to its charm, while the bold palette and texture make it a striking statement piece, perfect for eclectic, bohemian, or contemporary interiors. It's both functional and decorative, offering a rich cultural narrative through its materials, colour, and form.
