On the Design:

This exceptional vintage Tulu rug exhibits the quintessential geometric striped design meticulously formed to create a rhythmic field that maintains remarkable consistency across the field.

The palette demonstrates a sophisticated chromatic restraint, employing only two primary hues—a rich gray and silver-cream—to create a visual tension that activates the entire surface.

This binary color scheme suggests the piece was created during a period when vegetable dyes were still prevalent but standardized through regional protocols, achieving remarkable color consistency throughout.

Both rustic and sophisticated, this Tulu rug has a versatile size, perfect for modern interiors that value warmth, texture, and quiet individuality. Its expressive restraint and organic charm make it equally at home in serene minimalist spaces or bohemian settings.
