12871 Vintage Turkish Denizli Cal Handknotted Rug 94x157cm (3.1 x 5.1½ft)

Glorious village made vintage Turkish Cal Rug - this beautiful pile handmade rug is an original and authentic hand-knotted wool rug measuring approximately 94x157cm (3.1 x 5.1½ft) excluding any fringes - we love the sumpteous wool and real village feel this rug has. We don't find these rugs easily these days sadly, they rarely come up and when they do we always buy them as they have such a wonderful handmade, one off, appeal to them.

Cal is a small town north-east of Denizli known for weaving both flat-woven and pile knotted rugs although not many rugs are now made in this area. Rugs from the Cal region are quite unusual and have interesting geometric patterns and colours such as burnt orange, terracottas and blues. Cal Rugs have their own unusual designs, commonly having a central medallion on a fairly open ground but there can be exceptions to this. For information on our Rug Underlays look here.
