Vintage Turkish Tulu Rug, 4 x 4.1 ft, 121 x 125 cm, Hand-Knotted Wool Shag Rug, Geometric Long Pile Carpet

This distinctive vintage Turkish Tulu rug features a bold abstract arrangement of interlocking triangles in warm coral red, muted rose, olive green, and soft yellow tones. Its irregular geometric composition and richly textured surface give the rug a playful modern appearance while preserving the character of traditional Anatolian weaving.

Handmade in Turkey approximately 60 years ago, this one-of-a-kind rug was crafted from natural wool and colored with traditional natural root dyes. The naturally aged shades and subtle variations in the pile create depth, movement, and authentic vintage charm.

What Is a Tulu Rug?

A Tulu rug is a traditional Turkish long-pile rug known for its thick, soft, and highly textured surface. The word “Tulu” refers to the rug’s shaggy or fleecelike appearance.

These rugs were traditionally woven in Anatolian villages to provide warmth and comfort during cold weather. Their long wool pile creates a cozy texture, while their simple geometric designs often have a strikingly modern and artistic character.

Unlike flatwoven kilims, Tulu rugs have a raised wool pile that gives them a plush and tactile surface. Because of their sculptural texture and distinctive designs, vintage Tulu rugs are appreciated as both functional floor coverings and collectible examples of Turkish folk art.

Its compact, nearly square proportions make this rug suitable for a bedside area, reading corner, nursery, entryway, small living space, or layered interior. It also works beautifully as a decorative wall textile.

As an authentic handmade vintage rug, it may show slight variations in shape, pile, color, and texture, together with natural signs of age and previous use. These characteristics contribute to its individuality, history, and handmade beauty.
