About the Item

Made with hand-knotted high-pile wool in Turkey, this 4x6 vintage Tulu rug is a distinguished addition to Rug Kilim’s collection of traditional Turkish textiles. Its bold black ground and polychromatic floral design, inspired by Bessarabian elegance, and the plush texture make it equally compelling as a bold decorative statement. 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 aesthetic, clearly drawing inspiration from classic Moldovan Bessarabian rug designs. Hand-knotted with high-pile wool, its plush surface offers a soft, shaggy texture that is both inviting and durable. Here, a vibrant field of contrasting black forms a dramatic, deep ground. The design truly sets itself apart with its striking composition: a central bouquet of lush red and yellow roses is surrounded by a continuous floral border garland featuring blooms in shades of pink, cream, and muted gold. This polychromatic symphony brings the refined, romantic charm of Bessarabian patterns to the rustic, shaggy texture of the Tulu weave. This highly stylized rug enjoys a confident, dramatic presence, demonstrating a rare and brilliant cross-cultural play between Turkish weaving tradition and a sophisticated floral sensibility. It's a regal, unique piece with a fresh approach to the many classic beauties of the Tulu—exemplary of their bold aesthetic and their smart play of a cross-border artistic dialogue. Condition: This vintage Turkish Tulu Rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin.

The Chintz Blossom Royale: A Vintage Turkish Rose Kilim of Exquisite Grandeur
Located in Dallas, TX
70271 Vintage Turkish Rose Kilim Rug, 09'00 x 10'11. There is a certain joy—an unapologetically sumptuous, romantic joy—that only a true rose kilim can deliver, and this exceptional vintage Turkish flat-weave captures that feeling with disarming elegance. Inspired by the whimsical exuberance of Mario Buatta and the polished charm of classic Chintz interiors, this piece transforms a room into a curated tableau of floral opulence. Its open abrashed red field provides a velvety stage for a sweeping display of roses, rendered with a painterly softness that evokes both nostalgia and couture-level restraint. At the heart of the composition lies a magnificent stylized bouquet, framed by a dramatically cusped medallion that feels almost baroque in its flourish. The artistry here is unmistakable—this is not simply a decorative element, but a celebration of abundance, femininity, and heritage. The roses bloom in shades of cream, teal, emerald, and blush, creating an irresistible, layered depth that feels transported from a lacquered English drawing room or the salon of an old-world grand estate. Around this lyrical center, a deep black-coffee border intensifies the contrast and adds an air of high drama. The surrounding garlands of roses and foliage echo the central bouquet, unifying the entire composition with a rhythm that is both stately and playful. The interplay of soft pastels against the dark frame creates a chiaroscuro effect, lending the kilim a curated, museum-worthy presence—a rarity among floral flat-weaves. For collectors and designers with a taste for the extraordinary, this exquisite work of art is more than a textile—it is a statement piece with personality, pedigree, and undeniable magnetism. It evokes the lavish romance of vintage chintz while retaining the crisp geometry and artisanal integrity of Anatolian weaving. This is a treasure for a space that demands charm, sophistication, and a whisper of theatrical luxury. Also known as: Bessarabian Rose...
