Vintage Tribal Rugs

Vintage tribal rugs carry the weaving traditions of nomadic and village communities in Anatolia. Their bold geometric motifs, stepped medallions and strong color contrasts were woven from memory rather than from a drawn pattern, so no two pieces are the same. Every rug in this collection is handmade and there is only one of each.

What Makes a Rug Tribal

  • Geometric motifs such as diamonds, hooks and stepped borders.
  • Irregular details that show the hand of the weaver.
  • Strong contrast in reds, blues, browns and creams.

Styling Tribal Rugs

A tribal rug grounds a neutral, modern room and pairs naturally with wood, leather and linen. Explore related styles: vintage kilims, distressed and faded rugs and the full one-of-a-kind collection.
