Vintage Red and Green Checkerboard Turkish Tulu Rug

About the Item

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. The patterns are typically 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 checkerboard pattern consists of an alternation of red and green squares, woven on a weft-faced wool foundation in two panels, as these were woven on narrow nomadic looms. One end is embellished by wool tassels in red and green. A genuine tribal rug of ancient modernity.
