FAQs

Karadja rugs originate from the Northwest region of Iran, near the Heriz weaving area. They are characterized by their coarse to medium hand-knotted pile and distinctive layout, which almost always features a series of three geometric medallions along the vertical centre of the field.

These rugs are woven using hand-spun wool yarn for the pile knotted onto a cotton warp and weft foundation. The dyes are traditionally derived from natural plant and mineral sources, creating rich red, navy indigo, and ivory tones.

Authentic Karadja textiles feature a symmetric Turkish (Ghiordes) knot, a sturdy handle, and a specific medallion motif layout: a central diamond medallion flanked by two stepped latch-hook medallions. Examination of the reverse side will reveal natural variations in knot density and hand-spun yarn structure.

The geometric nature and rich palette of a Karadja rug complement both classic and contemporary settings. Placing the rug on neutral hardwood or polished concrete flooring allows the primary red and navy tones to ground a room without overwhelming surrounding furnishings.

Regular maintenance requires gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar to prevent fibre pull. Professional dry washing or specialist rug cleaning is recommended for stain removal, and using a quality underlay helps protect the foundation from uneven wear.
