About the Item

Minimal yet full of texture, this vintage Turkish Tulu rug features a striking checkerboard pattern in soft neutral tones. A rhythmic grid of alternating dark brown and beige wool squares forms a modernist composition that feels equally grounded in mid-century design and tribal folk art. Subtle asymmetry, including a single off-center motif in muted celadon green, adds a charming handmade touch. With its compact runner size and versatile palette, this 2'6" x 5'5" rug is perfect for hallways, entryways, or layering into a warm, organic interior.
