Beschreibung:

♡ A TURKISH TULU RUG CIRCA MID 20TH CENTURY Featuring a diamond lattice design with an overall geometric vase shape in shades of grey wool against a cream ground. Constructed with several rows of wefts in-between each row of knots, typical of Tulu rugs. 201cm long, 120cm wide PROVENANCE: A Private Collection of central Asian and related tribal rugs. The rugs in this collection represent the final stage of a tradition of nomadic long-pile weavings used for sleeping purposes, stretching back thousands of years. This tradition was common to many cultures throughout the colder parts of Europe and Asia, and is thought to have its origins in the use of animal fur pelts for sleeping. In many cases, the designs are archaic in the extreme, mirroring designs found in Neolithic cultures from the same areas. Visually, these weavings are at once ancient and incredibly modern, being bold blocks of colour and large geometric designs, and therefore eminently suitable for contemporary interiors.
