Where were these rugs made?

Production centres in the Northwest region of Persia, specifically around the village of Karaja and surrounding tribal areas. Weavers in these communities produced robust village textiles characterised by strong geometric layouts and durable wool construction.

How do I choose the right size?

Small formats and scatter sizes suit entryways or hearths, while larger room carpets anchor living spaces and dining areas. Narrow runner formats fit hallways and corridors where length matters more than width.

Are these runners durable?

Hand-knotted wool construction on cotton foundations creates a dense fabric built to withstand heavy daily foot traffic. Proper placement with an appropriate underlay helps protect the foundation over decades of domestic use.

How do I date an older piece?

Dating relies on stylistic indicators, structural materials, dye characteristics, and traditional Northwest Persian motifs recorded across the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Minor variations in wool texture and fringe construction provide further clues to the period of origin.
