This antique rug originates from Persia, specifically the Karaja region, and is identified by its distinct tribal style. The rug features a rust-colored background complemented by a navy border, with red serving as the dominant color throughout the design. Crafted from wool on a cotton foundation, this handwoven piece dates back to circa 1920.
Karaja carpets are celebrated for their intricate and durable weaving techniques, characterized by a double weft between rows of knots. This method enhances the rug's texture and longevity, reflecting the high-quality craftsmanship for which this region's weavers are known. The design diversity found in Karaja carpets can include large medallions or more realistic floral motifs, representative of the various artistic influences across the area.
The rug's pattern includes geometric shapes and symbols, arranged symmetrically around a central medallion. The color palette highlights red and navy blue as primary colors, accented with cream, white, green, and lighter shades of blue. The outer border is navy blue, adorned with repeating abstract floral and geometric shapes, while the inner border, in lighter colors like cream and tan, contains interlocking geometric motifs.
The rug exhibits a high degree of symmetry typical of handmade pieces from the region. The design is mirrored along the central vertical axis, and the central medallion and surrounding patterns show radial symmetry, with motifs radiating outward. The central medallion is hexagonal and intricately designed, combining geometric shapes in cream, red, and navy blue, which anchors the rug's visual composition.
Overall, the pattern density is particularly high around the central medallion and the borders, showcasing the detailed and complex nature of the design. This meticulous craftsmanship and enduring artistic legacy make this Persian Karaja rug a noteworthy antique, preserving a piece of the cultural and historical narrative of its origin.

Don’t take our word for it


Last fall, my husband and I purchased a gorgeous silk from you for our Boston Condo. Based on the quality of your rugs and customer service, we decided to visit you again to purchase rugs for our Connecticut home. Luckily, we received your postcard about the tent sale and came home with two more stunning rugs.


I can't say enough good things about this store, especially Susanne and Breanna. I shop at many rug places as I am an interior designer looking for very specific rugs all the time. No one out there compares to this store and their wonderful Sales associates. Thank you Susanne and Breanna for all your help!


Over the past year we purchased three rugs, as well as carpet from L&A. Our experience could not have been more positive and we love what we purchased.
In addition, every single person
in the showroom was beyond helpful, knowledgeable and kind. It was truly a pleasure. Thank you!


Never have I enjoyed spending money as much as at Landry & Arcari!!! Thank you so much for your attention and guidance. The rug I chose grounds the furniture and makes the living room. It is so beautiful and I really appreciate all of your help.
