Description

A rich and fantastic tribal antique Karaja rug in wonderful original condition.  Woven with unbelievable natural dyes, the soft saffron yellow border, glorious rare green dyes in the eight-pointed star design, and natural ivory in the main latch-hook medallion.  Deep indigo blues and brick terracotta reds complete the stunning dye palette on this stunning late 19th century rug.

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.

FAQs

Karaja rugs are woven by village weavers in the Northwest region of Persia, traditionally characterised by distinct geometric medallion layouts and earthy palettes.

These pieces are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation, often utilizing vegetable dyes derived from local plants and minerals.

Authenticity is determined by examining the knot density, irregularities in the symmetrical geometric designs, natural colour variations known as abrash, and the condition of the wool.

Such textiles anchor modern spaces by providing contrasting warmth, texture, and historic character against minimalist furniture and neutral flooring.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand washing periodically, and keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
