About the Item

A heavy-duty Tulu rug from Konya region of Turkey. The word "tulu" actually means "long-haired" in Turkish, which is a reference to the shaggy texture of the rugs. Tulu rugs were traditionally used as blankets to keep warm during the cold Anatolian winters, but they have become popular decorative items in recent years. Vintage Central Anatolian Tulu Rugs are highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts, as they are considered to be some of the finest examples of this traditional style. They are often made using natural dyes and materials, which gives them a unique and authentic appearance.
