A very sweet and small tribal antique Karaja rug, full of charm and lovely natural colours, woven around 1890-1900. A warm red border and indigo blues in the main field with rare pale green 8 pointed star medallions. We love the small motifs in the main design, and scrolling vines coming out from the medallions in pale blue and off-whites. The leaf design border is a wonderful accompaniment to the overall geometric pattern. In fabulous condition an excellent little antique rug to brighten a home.
Karaja rugs were woven in the North-West of Persia, not far from the weavers of the Caucasus, which is why we see animal motifs and geometric designs from antique Caucasian rugs. Look for the lovely small Reindeer motifs shown four times around the central medallion.
