About the Item
The 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. Woven in the Karapinar area in central Anatolia, these are distinguished by the use of fine mohair wool, often undyed like in this case. The patterns are typically quite simple, ranging from completely open fields to stacked niches, with basic geometric patterns like chequerboards constituting some interesting variants.

Antique Geometric Design Tribal Rug in Camel Hair and Mocha Neutral Colours
Located in Milan, IT
A truly elegant Kurdish Anatolian tribal rug from eastern Turkey distinguished by the use of natural, undyed camel hair for the background. It's sparsely decorated by a sequence of five conjoined diamond medallions with stepped outlines in tones of chocolate brown and ivory. The combination of a restrained palette and a minimalist design results in a very refined weaving of clear Modernist flavour, which can be easily placed in a contemporary design room setting. A real masterpiece of antique tribal...
