Vintage Tulu Rug in Green and Red Checkered Pattern - Rug & Kilim

About the Item

Hand-knotted in wool and originating from Turkey circa 1950-1960, this 4x5 vintage Tulu rug is an extremely rare piece and the latest addition to Rug & Lilim’s Vintage archives. On the Design: This exceptional vintage Tulu rug exhibits the quintessential checkered pattern, with each square meticulously formed to create a rhythmic field that maintains remarkable consistency across the design.The palette demonstrates a sophisticated chromatic restraint, employing only two primary hues—a rich cardinal red and verdant meadow green—to create a visual tension that activates the entire surface. This binary color scheme suggests the piece was created during a period when vegetable dyes were still prevalent but standardized through regional protocols, achieving remarkable color consistency throughout. Keen eyes for detail may note a unique loop technique in the pile of these pieces, as well as a subtle high-low pile variation in the lower border; all lending to the collectibility of this and the select sibling pieces our principal hails among the finest new tribal selections in our classic rug collection. Both rustic and sophisticated, this Tulu rug has a versatile size, perfect for modern interiors that value warmth, texture, and quiet individuality. Its expressive restraint and organic charm make it equally at home in serene minimalist spaces or bohemian settings. Condition: This vintage Tulu rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
