Vintage Turkish Tulu Rug – Handwoven Wool Tribal Accent Rug | 2'10" × 4'0"
Handwoven in Turkey approximately 65 years ago, this authentic vintage Tulu rug celebrates the rich tradition of Anatolian village weaving. Known for their warmth, durability, and distinctive texture, Tulu rugs were originally woven for everyday family life, serving as floor coverings, blankets, and wall hangings in the mountainous regions of central Turkey.
The design is centered around the traditional Ram's Horn motif, one of the most enduring symbols in Anatolian weaving. Historically, the Ram's Horn represents strength, courage, heroism, fertility, and resilience. Woven throughout the composition are additional geometric tribal motifs traditionally interpreted as Dragons, symbols believed to guard treasures and protect against harm, alongside Star (Solomon's Seal) motifs, long associated with happiness, guidance, and protection. Together, these motifs create a powerful symbolic composition while preserving the bold folk-art character of traditional Tulu weaving.
Handwoven from 100% wool with a comfortable medium pile, this vintage rug offers natural warmth, durability, and timeless appeal. Its versatile size makes it an excellent choice for an entryway, bedside, reading nook, home office, or layered interior where its earthy palette and tribal artistry can be appreciated.
