Vintage Handmade Turkish Tulu Prayer Rug, Hand-Knotted Wool Prayer Mat

This vintage hand-knotted Tulu rug originates from Central Anatolia, Turkey, and is handcrafted from 100% natural handspun wool. Its soft wool pile, organic texture, and distinctive handmade character reflect the traditional weaving heritage of Anatolian nomads and village artisans.
The rug features a bold architectural niche design in deep burgundy, surrounded by layered borders in dark green, mustard yellow, navy blue, red, cream, and dark brown. Repeated multicolored diamond motifs are arranged vertically across the central field, while small scattered details throughout the design add depth, rhythm, and authentic tribal character. Long natural fringes complete its traditional handmade appearance.
Tulu rugs were originally woven for everyday use by nomadic and rural communities throughout Central Anatolia until the 1970s. Known for their rich texture, expressive patterns, and authentic handmade quality, these traditional Turkish rugs bring warmth, color, and visual interest to any interior.
Today, vintage Tulu rugs are valued as collectible examples of Turkish tribal and textile art. Each hand-knotted rug is one of a kind, featuring natural variations in color, texture, pattern, pile, and weave that highlight its handmade origin and individual character.
With its architectural composition, rich jewel-toned colors, and repeated geometric motifs, this vintage Turkish Tulu rug is an excellent choice for a living room, bedroom, entryway, home office, or reading area. It complements bohemian, eclectic, rustic, traditional, farmhouse, contemporary, artistic, and maximalist interiors.
The rug is available exactly as shown. Upon request, a similar hand-knotted Tulu rug can also be custom-made in a different size, color combination, or design.
