About the Item

This vintage hand-knotted Tulu rug from Konya, Central Turkey, embodies the bold spirit and artistic freedom of Anatolian weaving traditions. Crafted from 100% natural lamb’s wool, it features a luxuriously soft, high pile that is as inviting underfoot as it is visually captivating. The rug’s vibrant palette—rich reds, fiery oranges, lush greens, deep purples, cobalt blues, and striking pinks—creates a lively composition of geometric motifs that reflect the creativity of village and nomadic weavers who produced these rugs for personal use rather than for export. Woven in the 1960s–1970s, authentic vintage Tulu rugs are now increasingly rare and highly collectible. Their playful geometry and plush texture make them versatile pieces, equally at home in modern, bohemian, or traditional interiors. Beyond their decorative appeal, they are cherished as genuine works of folk and textile art, carrying with them the cultural heritage of Anatolia. In addition to this one-of-a-kind vintage example, we also offer custom reproductions made to order. These can be tailored in any size, design, color palette, pile height, and fringe length, allowing you to create a unique rug that perfectly complements both residential and commercial spaces. • Origin: Konya, Central Turkey • Date: Circa 1970s • Material: 100% hand-knotted lamb’s wool • Size: 3.3 x 5.3 Ft (100 x 160 cm) • Condition: Excellent vintage condition with age-appropriate wear Tulu rugs like this one are versatile and can work across several design styles because of their bold colors, deep pile, and geometric tribal motifs.
