About the Item
Filikli rugs represent probably the earliest, most primitive form of weaving known to mankind, veritably untouched over the course of a few thousand years. These were originally intended as a woven substitute to fur, hence the long fleecy pile. Filiklis are woven using unspun mohair wool, which is then dip-dyed with the colour of choice; this rudimental method results in a non-uniform dyeing of the yarn, which ultimately contributes in creating a kind of woven sculpture, with long, cascading lustrous polychrome Angora wool in geometric, minimalist patterns. The concentric squares design seen here imparts a strong Modernist feeling to the composition.

Mid-Century Modern Vintage Kurdish Tulu with Dotted Polychrome Background
Located in Milan, IT
Tulu rugs represent one of the earliest forms of nomadic pile weaving, typically knotted with a medium-high pile as they were meant as bedding rugs for the tent. The patterns are quite simple, ranging from completely open fields to stacked niches, with basic geometric patterns such as the one here representing some interesting variants. Here the field is embellished by an infinite repeat dotted pattern, which gains momentum by virtue of the irregular colour variations of the background, creating a syncopated and colourful stripe...
