This antique Karaja rug dates from 1920 and follows a traditional Persian style. It presents a geometric three-medallion pattern set against a rich terracotta field, complemented by a deep indigo border. Soft pink and light blue secondary tones enrich the overall palette, framed by intricate patterned borders and fringed ends. Physical evidence of age includes light wear across the pile along with slight losses to the corners and ends, though the selvedges remain secure following professional cleaning. Measuring 131 cm high, 113 cm wide and 1 cm deep, the piece offers a practical, squarish footprint suited to smaller floor spaces. Position it as a striking focal point in a hallway, beneath a compact coffee table in a sitting room, or beside a bed to add warmth and character to interior schemes.

FAQs

Originating from the village of Karadja in Northwest Persia, near the Heriz district, these rugs are characterized by distinct geometric medallions, typically featuring a central octagonal or diamond motif flanked by stepped square or latch-hook medallions on a red field.

They are hand-knotted using local hand-spun wool pile woven onto a cotton or wool warp and weft foundation. Natural plant- and insect-based dyes are traditionally employed to produce saturated shades of red, navy, blue, and ivory.

Authentic examples feature a coarse to medium hand-knotted weave, a symmetrical knot structure, and a signature sequence of geometric medallions. The presence of natural abrash, or subtle colour variation in the hand-dyed wool yarns, also indicates traditional production.

Small geometric rugs add warmth, texture, and historical context when placed in entryways, studies, or living areas alongside mid-century timber furniture, neutral upholstery, or contemporary minimalist decor.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating beater-bar protects the wool pile. Professional hand-washing and prompt spot cleaning with cold water and mild neutral detergent help preserve the fibre structure and natural dyes.
