12153 Small Vintage Turkish Cal Kilim Rug 48x112cm (1.7 x 3.8ft)

Stunning vintage village made traditional Turkish Cal Kilim Rug. This is an original and authentic piece hand-woven in wool using the kilim flatweave slit weave technique and measuring approx 48x112cm (1.7 x 3.8ft) excluding any fringes. This Cal rug from Turkey is a one of a kind piece and semi-antique - this is one of our favourites, the colours are so bright and beautiful, there is some patchiness in the dyes in places but this doesn't detract from this gorgeous piece, it's one we would like to keep ourselves!

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. Kilims from the Cal region are quite unusual and have interesting geometric patterns and colours such as burnt orange, terracottas and blues. Cal Kilims 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.
