Vintage tulu rug hand-woven in the second half of the 20th century in Turkey. Tulu is basically a kilim or a plainweave with tufts of wool or goat-hair yarn interwoven using the Turkish knot to form tuft patterns on the underlying design. Tulu is the English pronunciation for the Turkish word, "tüylü" meaning hairy. The technique used for weaving is very similar to "gabbeh" in Iran, "Beni Ourain" rugs of Morrocco and "ryijy" in Finland. All have been produced for functional purposes rather than commercially and in mountainous regions, so they all have thick pile for protection against cold.

All have been produced for functional purposes rather than commercially and in mountainous regions, so they all have thick pile for protection against cold. Their weaving is more coarse so they can be woven faster at home that the sophisticated fine rugs that can only be woven from a pattern in workshops. They mostly had "primitive" designs and used undyed hand-spun wool or few colors.

Great shopping experience

My rug is so pretty, and the shipping was amazingly fast. I love the filter and search options on the site, and how they help with matching paint colors. I’m already looking for a second rug for my bedroom. Great shopping experience.

Fabulous experience

As a former furniture manufacturer and retailer, I have a lot of experience dealing with clients. This company is absolutely stellar, not only in customer service, but their presentation and website are incomparable.They've thought of everything to take the guess work out of online ordering--truly a twenty first century operation. Using Crayolas to reference colors is brilliant!

Fabulous rug, very true to photo, in wonderful condition. Can't overstate the richness it adds to the room. Don't be afraid to order on line from these people, it's a first rate operation.
