FAQs

Karaja rugs are woven by villagers in the Heris district of north-west Persia, historically known for their bold geometric medallion designs and robust village construction.

Traditional pieces feature handspun wool pile knotted onto cotton or wool foundations, dyed using natural vegetable and insect-derived colourants.

Authenticity is determined by examining the irregularity of the hand-knotted structure, natural abrash colour variations in the wool, traditional geometric motifs, and the type of wool and dyes used.

Placing a geometric runner in a contemporary space introduces texture, historical depth, and warmth, grounding neutral flooring with rich indigo and terracotta tones.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing by specialists in textile conservation, and using a quality underlay to prevent friction and slippage.
