This Persian Karaja rug from circa 1920 exemplifies traditional tribal artistry with its distinctive design and craftsmanship. Featuring a wool pile on a cotton foundation, this rug is notable for its intricate geometric pattern highlighted by a large central medallion. The dominant background color is a rich brick red, which provides a striking contrast to the navy blue border.
The Karaja rug design is rooted in the classical Caucasian weaving traditions, often characterized by their geometrically intricate and symmetrical motifs. The central medallion, typically a focal point in Karaja rugs, is rendered here in red, blue, and ivory tones, incorporating angular and floral elements that enhance the overall visual complexity.
The color palette of this rug is predominantly warm, with the brick-red background hosting an array of smaller geometric shapes and motifs. These are intricately detailed with shades of blue, ivory, pink, and green, creating a vibrant and balanced composition. The primary border, adjacent to the central field, features a repeating geometric pattern in ivory and dark blue, which adds subtle textural contrast.
The secondary border is more elaborately designed, with a wider navy blue band that showcases additional colors like red, white, and pink. This border features a mix of floral and geometric motifs, contributing to the rug's overall elaborate and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The weaving technique used in this Karaja rug involves a double weft between rows of knots, contributing to its durability and textural richness. This particular technique is a hallmark of the high-quality craftsmanship inherent in these rugs, ensuring their longevity and resilience.
With its symmetrical layout and rich color scheme, this 1920s Persian Karaja rug is a fine example of tribal Persian rug artistry, reflecting the rich cultural and artistic heritage of the region.

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.
