Made with a lush, textural hand-knotted wool and originating from Turkey circa 1950-1960, this 4x6 vintage Tulu rug enjoys a simple, yet rich marriage of pattern and color—an exciting find among the more minimalist pieces from Rug & Kilim's mid-century curations of this provenance.
On the Design:
Though it departs from a more traditional field and border structure, admirers of the craft may particularly appreciate this rug's look of both open field and medallion style in its use of negative space. A warm play of mocha brown tones underscores this cream white square in the central field, with stripes on the upper and lower borders in the same hues. Keen eyes will further admire the particularly lustrous yarn and the gentle, natural sheen it lends the shaggy fibers, which lends the almost bronze accent in the browns, as well as an overall sense of lush, textural beauty and welcoming air among the many beauties of the piece. It's an exceptional find in the almost tribal, primitivist allure of vintage Tulu rugs—a cozy, comfortable high-pile choice of versatile accent rug size with vast design applications in flooring and wall-hanging projects alike.
Condition:
This mid-century Tulu rug further enjoys good condition, with a mild element of Shabby Elegance consistent with its age and origin.
