This vintage Filikli Tulu rug from Konya, approximately 80 years old, is a beautiful expression of texture and movement through its distinctive long pile construction.
The design is defined by horizontal bands of plush, hand-spun wool pile running parallel to the short side of the rug. The palette moves organically through tones of white and grey, punctuated by vibrant accents of orange, red, green, and black. The result is a composition that feels both spontaneous and deeply tactile.
Unlike flatwoven or tightly knotted rugs, Filikli Tulu pieces are celebrated for their softness and depth, offering a luxurious underfoot experience and a sculptural quality that shifts with light and use.
This piece works beautifully as a statement accent in smaller spaces, layered interiors, or anywhere texture is key.
