On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will know tulu rugs for their lush, textural high-pile construction—a shag texture keeping with the word’s meaning in Turkish translating to “long-haired.” This pair is exemplary of the more simple works one admires in this provenance, where cream white and beige tones underscore these long fibers with a light, almost neutral sense of beauty and soft presence. Patterless, solid Tulus like these are some of the most versatile, rich and comfortable works in Turkish weaving, and their duality offers equally vast design applications for decorators with matching or adjoining spaces in mind.

Condition:

Both vintage Tulu runners further in this pair enjoy good condition, with only a mild, natural element of shabby-chic consistent with age and origin. These pieces can also be purchased separately upon request. See less
