Eliko Rugs by David Ariel Rustic Hand Knotted Tulu Rug with Natural Tones

About the Item

Tulu rugs, also known as Tulu carpets or Tulu kilims, are a type of handwoven rug originating from Central Anatolia, Turkey. They are named after the Turkish word "tüylü," which translates to "hairy" or "fuzzy," describing the characteristic long pile and plush texture of these rugs. Tulu rugs are traditionally made using locally sourced wool from sheep or goats. They are known for their thick, shaggy pile, which is achieved by knotting or looping the wool fibers onto a woven base. The longer pile gives Tulu rugs a distinct cozy and luxurious feel underfoot, making them popular choices for bedrooms, living rooms, or any space where comfort is desired. These rugs often feature bold geometric patterns and vibrant colors, showcasing the rich heritage and cultural motifs of the region. Traditional Tulu rug designs may include diamond shapes, tribal symbols, or stylized floral motifs, each carrying its own symbolic significance. However, modern Tulu rugs may also incorporate contemporary designs and color palettes to suit different decor styles. Tulu rugs are not only valued for their visual appeal but also for their functionality. The dense pile provides excellent insulation, keeping spaces warm during colder months. Additionally, the softness and thickness of the pile offer a pleasant cushioning effect, making Tulu rugs a cozy addition to any room. Over time, Tulu rugs have gained popularity and recognition as unique works of art and have become sought-after collectors' items. Their distinct texture, bold designs, and cultural significance make them a captivating choice for those seeking to add warmth, character, and a touch of Anatolian heritage to their living spaces. This one is new production from Afghanistan with tones of ivory, gray, and brown. Beautiful fringes come across the length of the rug as well.
