Where were antique karaja runners made?

These runners originate from the villages of the Heriz region in north-west Persia. Local weavers produced them using traditional tribal designs. The production centres around rural workshops where generational techniques dictated the use of local wool and cotton.

How do I use a runner in a hallway?

Runners fit narrow spaces such as corridors, staircases, and entrance halls. Their elongated format protects flooring while adding warmth and pattern. Ensure you measure both the length and width of your hallway carefully, noting narrow dimensions like those found on specific village pieces.

What materials are used in these rugs?

The pile is spun from wool, offering resilience against heavy foot traffic. Foundations rely on cotton for structural stability. This combination of materials ensures the heavy, hard-wearing quality typical of nineteenth-century Persian village weaving.

How can I tell the age of a runner?

Dating relies on material analysis, structural wear, and stylistic indicators such as natural dye palettes and specific tribal motifs. Pieces on this page primarily date from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Examining the tightness of the weave and the handling of the wool also provides clues to the period of manufacture.
