Karaja Carpet with Intense Colours, North-west Persia, Circa 1890, 3.57m X 2.68m

19th century
Description

The carpet weavers and dyers of Azerbaijan were among the best in Persia in the 19th century. The richness and variety of colours that were achieved using only natural ingredients was quite remarkable. The superb carpet from the Karaja district of North-West Persia is a fine example. Note the wonderful intensity and richness of the colours. The outstanding red is so delicious and variegated and is complemented by delightful light blues, sapphire blues, greens, pinks and golds. The medallion design is also finely rendered, and feels both primitive and very contemporary at the same time. The stylised floral border is also exceptional and forms the perfect frame for the dynamic field. This is a striking antique Persian carpet, ideal for many settings and for someone who wishes to make a statement. In very good condition. Professionally cleaned.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Karaja carpets originate from the Heriz region in North-West Persia, distinguished by their geometric motifs, central medallions, and bold colour palettes. Hand-woven around the late 19th century, these carpets feature durable wool construction with stylized tribal designs.

Antique Karaja carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile onto a cotton or wool foundation. Natural plant-derived dyes, such as madder for red hues and indigo for blue tones, were traditionally employed to create lasting colours.

Authentic Karaja carpets can be identified by their distinctive geometric medallion design, characteristic abrash colour variations, and fine hand-knotted structure. Inspecting the reverse side reveals irregular weave nodes typical of hand-craftsmanship rather than machine production.

A large antique Persian carpet serves as a grounding foundational element in contemporary living spaces or dining rooms. Placing minimalist or modern furniture atop the patterned wool creates a balanced visual contrast between heritage craftsmanship and modern lines.

Preserve antique wool carpets by vacuuming regularly without a rotary brush attachment to avoid snagging fibres. Rotate the carpet periodically to ensure even wear and sun exposure, and utilize a professional rug cleaner specializing in antique textiles for deep cleaning.
