About the Item
Made with hand-knotted high-pile wool in Turkey, this 5x6 vintage Tulu runner rug is a distinguished addition to Rug
Kilim’s collection of traditional Turkish textiles. Its bold black field with traditional floral pattern inspired by the Bessarabian designs and the plush texture make it equally compelling as a bold decorative statement and a collector’s piece.
On the Design:
Admirers of the craft will note this is a very special piece of its provenance—one of the few Tulus that can be found with such a distinctly romantic, floral sensibility, clearly drawing inspiration from classic Moldovan Bessarabian rug designs. Hand-knotted with high-pile wool, its exceptionally plush surface offers a soft, shaggy texture that is both inviting and durable.
Here, a field of commanding black acts as a deep, dramatic canvas, allowing the bold pattern to take on a jewel-toned intensity. The design focuses on a central bouquet and a surrounding border frame of full-bodied blossoms, rendered in a sophisticated palette of soft pinks, muted moss green, sky blue, and natural taupes. This interplay of a dramatic, dark ground with such feminine, classical floral motifs creates a unique and powerful artistic statement. It's a regal addition to the Tulu family, exemplary of their dramatic presence and their smart play of a rustic weaving tradition with a surprisingly delicate, highly stylized floral expression.
