1960's Golden Turkish Tulu Angora Carpet
About the Item
73979 Vintage Turkish Tulu Angora Rug, 04’02 x 05’00. This vintage hand-knotted Turkish Tulu rug, crafted from luxuriously soft angora wool, embodies the tactile elegance and refined simplicity of traditional Anatolian design. Originating from the mountainous regions of Central Anatolia, Tulu rugs are known for their plush, long-pile texture and minimalist aesthetic. This particular piece showcases a serene golden-yellow field, exuding warmth and a gentle luster that only high-quality angora wool can produce. The subtle tonal variations within the fibers add depth and dimension, making it a captivating example of the enduring artistry of Turkish textile heritage.
The term 'Tulu' is derived from the Turkish word for 'hairy,' which refers to the high-pile construction that sets these rugs apart from their low-pile counterparts. These types of rugs were traditionally woven by nomadic and semi-nomadic weavers for personal use, serving as soft bedding or coverings to protect against the cold Anatolian winters. The incorporation of fine angora wool, sourced from the undercoat of the Angora goat, enhances the insulating properties while providing a natural sheen that catches the light beautifully, highlighting the rug’s unique texture.
Visually, this vintage Tulu rug is defined by its minimalist design philosophy. The monochromatic palette in a radiant shade of golden-yellow evokes a sense of tranquility and understated sophistication. Unlike other Anatolian rugs known for their elaborate patterns, this piece draws attention to the quality of the material and the tactile appeal of its long, shaggy pile. The lack of intricate motifs is a deliberate choice, celebrating the raw beauty of natural fibers and the meditative simplicity of pure color, making it a versatile addition to both modern and traditional interiors.
Collectors and enthusiasts are particularly drawn to vintage Tulu rugs like this one for their authenticity and rarity. Each rug is a testament to the artistry and skill of the weavers, reflecting a deep connection to the natural world and traditional lifestyles of Anatolian culture. Today, these rugs are cherished not only for their functionality but also as artistic expressions that can transform any space into a haven of warmth and texture. With its inviting golden hue and sumptuous angora pile, this vintage Turkish Tulu rug is more than a decorative piece—it’s a touchstone of Anatolian weaving traditions that bridges the past and present with timeless elegance.
