Antique Karaja Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

A richly coloured antique Karaja rug with good natural colours, especially the pale blue star motifs.  The white central latch-hook medallion lifts the rugs palette too.  A great, small tribal geometric rug ideal to sit in front of fireplace or in a hallway for example.  This type of rug looks fantastic with antique furniture and on wooden floors or sisal.  We have even placed these rugs in contemporary settings and they can look great in that environment too.  Condition is very smart, a fine weave and in good original order.

Antique Karaja rugs were woven in a village in the northeast of the Heriz region of Persia, not far from the Azerbaijan Border.  Their designs generally consisted of 8 pointed star motifs like this piece as well as weaving in animals and people which adds great interest. The sun-burst design is not uncommon or they would weave a more geometric central motif known as a latch-hook design.

FAQs

Karaja rugs originate from the village of Karaja in Northwest Persia, located northeast of Tabriz near the Heriz weaving district. These hand-knotted textiles are known for their distinct geometric design motifs, featuring central hexagonal medallions flanked by stepped latch-hook anchors.

Traditional Karaja rugs are hand-knotted using durable hand-spun wool pile woven onto a strong cotton or wool warp and weft foundation. Natural dyes are historically utilised to achieve rich tones of madder red, indigo blue, ivory, and green.

Authentic Karaja rugs typically feature a central medallion field composed of three geometric motifs along the vertical axis, with the middle medallion often octagonal or hexagonal flanked by two stepped square motifs. They also display hand-knotted construction with slight structural asymmetry.

An antique Karaja rug introduces colour, warmth, and texture to contemporary rooms by grounding neutral furniture palettes. Its strong geometric patterns complement minimalist, eclectic, and traditional decor styles alike when placed beneath seating areas or dining tables.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating beater bar removes surface dirt without harming the hand-knotted wool pile. Professional hand-washing by an antique rug specialist is recommended for deep cleaning every few years, alongside prompt spot-treatment of spills using cool water and neutral soap.
