Originating from Persia, this Karaja-style tribal rug features a rust background and a navy border, with red as the main color. Crafted around circa 1940, this piece is made from wool on a cotton foundation.
Karaja rugs, particularly those from the mid-20th century, are known for their connection to classical Caucasian weaving traditions. These rugs demonstrate the unique weaving technique involving a double weft between rows of knots, contributing to their durability and texture. The designs in Karaja rugs often include a variety of motifs, ranging from large medallion patterns to more realistic floral elements, reflecting the diverse artistic influences of the region.
The rug in question displays a densely packed pattern with a balance of geometric motifs and floral elements. Its symmetry along both the vertical and horizontal axes speaks to the meticulous craftsmanship typical of Karaja rugs. The central medallion, a common feature, dominates the design with an oval shape bordered by intricate patterns and concentric designs in colors such as green, red, and white, with the very center being black.
The primary background color of the rug is a rich, deep red, which is complemented by additional hues including green, blue, white, black, yellow, and pink, creating a vibrant and visually engaging appearance. The navy border surrounding the central field is elaborately decorated with repeating geometric motifs in a variety of colors, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. This border design is framed by a thin, white inner border adorned with small, intricate patterns, as well as a colorful outer border that further highlights the main border.
This piece reflects the intricate design work and cultural heritage associated with Karaja rugs, offering a glimpse into the region's rich tradition of craftsmanship and artistic expression.

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.
