Vintage Konya Tulu Rug, 4.3 x 11 ft Rug, High Pile Turkish Wool Yatak Halisi, Handmade Tribal Rug

A distinctive vintage handmade Konya Tülü rug, woven from wool and featuring a long-format geometric composition with four prominent diamond medallions. Its warm, naturally softened palette and substantial pile give the piece a strong tactile presence and authentic Anatolian character.

The central field is arranged with four large stepped diamond motifs, surrounded by smaller geometric symbols and multiple decorative borders. Shades of muted red, dusty rose, ivory, beige, mustard, brown, and charcoal have softened beautifully with age, creating the warm patina associated with genuine vintage textiles.

Unlike standard flatwoven kilims, this piece has a higher, thicker pile, giving it a softer and more substantial surface.

About Tülü Rug & Original Yatak Halısı

Tülü refers to a traditional Anatolian high-pile weaving associated especially with Central Turkey, including the Konya region. These rugs were made with a thicker, longer wool pile than ordinary village carpets, creating additional softness, warmth, and insulation.

This piece is also an original “yatak halısı.” In Turkish, yatak means bed or sleeping place, while halı means rug/carpet. Traditionally, yatak halıları were practical household textiles valued for their warmth and cushioning. Depending on local custom, they could be used as bedding, sleeping rugs, or thick floor coverings.

The combination of its high pile, wool construction, long proportions, and traditional geometric design reflects this functional textile tradition. Today, such pieces are appreciated both as collectible examples of Anatolian weaving and as highly decorative statement rugs.
