ANTIQUE #SA1171302

Karaja Rug

£750    $1,005    €879
I love Karaja rugs, they have strong palettes and are always very usable pieces with their robust cotton foundation. This one is interesting, the two outer medallions are typical of Karaja pieces but the central one is borrowed from the Chelaberd or eagle Kazak rug. Designs travel but foundation and palette are often very localised. Both in this case state Karaja but it is fascinating to see the merging of imagery from the Caucasus. Sometimes it is the detail that attracts me to a particular piece, in this case the reciprocal blue border and the way it contrasts with the red field is very pleasing. A good old rug with an unusual mix of designs.
 
Good Condition.
