Rug & Kilim

Hand-knotted in wool and originating from Turkey circa 1950-1960, this 4x7 vintage Tulu rug is a rich new piece and the latest addition to Rug & Kilim’s vintage archives—a unique design from a series inspired by Bessarbian rugs of Moldovan provenance, seldom seen in this lush high pile. On the Design: Tulus are some of the most sought-after high-pile and shag rugs, often mentioned in the same breath as Greek Flokati and Moroccan rugs for their own unique take on a lush, comfortable look and feel. The central medallion employs a scalloped cartouche format housing dense floral arrangements rendered against deep forest green grounds—roses, carnations, and foliate elements achieving botanical accuracy. The surrounding lattice framework transforms the field into geometric garden compartments, each diamond section containing identical floral sprays that create rhythmic repetition while maintaining organic naturalism. This systematic arrangement demonstrates the Turkish adaptation of European carpet design principles filtered through village sensibilities.The colour palette achieves remarkable harmony through earth-tone foundations—sage green, warm coral, deep forest, golden amber—creating relationships that speak to both European botanical traditions and Turkish colour sensibilities. This piece represents the mature phase of Turkish village weaving where technical mastery enabled complex European-inspired designs while maintaining distinctively Anatolian character. The floral sophistication makes it particularly suited for formal reception rooms or master bedrooms where its botanical charm creates a welcoming atmosphere while maintaining the cultural authenticity essential to luxury residential contexts. Condition:This vintage Tulu rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin.

Hand-knotted in wool and cotton, this 6x10 rug by Rug & Kilim is a new addition to the French Art Deco rug collection—a contemporary ode to the 1920s style moderne, geometric patterns inspired by some of the most iconic period pieces of the movement.On the Design: Tones of beige-brown, red, white and black underscore geometric patterns with a particular influence from Da Silva Bruhns-style rectilinear designs, as bold and unexpected in the 1920s as they are chic in this revival of the sensibility. Keen eyes and admirers of the craft will note the refined texture and sharp drawing adapted to this large scale, beautifully recapturing the sense of depth and graphic beauty of this European movement in a modern, luxury quality. The tasteful abrashing created by our blend of yarns further lends a subtle, chic complement to the sense of movement as well—one of many beauties nearly indistinguishable from the vintage and antique French Deco rugs of its inspiration, save this more durable modern pile for today’s designer.
